Treasures of Hope welcomed a new group of new women to its meeting last week. It's been a blessing and joy to meet new women and to share in their life journey.
Devotional
Our devotional reading was taken from Proverbs 25:11, "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." Words are so powerful and sometimes they can either make us happy or make us angry or sad. Our verse talks about words that are "fitly spoken". There's another beautiful scripture in Luke 4:22, "All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips..."
Testimony
A brief testimony always helps to bring the message home. Sharing one's faith brings God into the picture.We must sow the seed of salvation with every opportunity God gives us. All we have is now!
Speak hope-filled words to each other
Nothing gets to my soul like well chosen words!
Time to build hope into one another through encouraging the use of positive words. The Book of Proverbs has a lot to say about words:
During the whole evening, we kept filling ourselves with hope. Here's what the women came up with when asked what 'hope' meant to them:
Prayer
It's always a privilege to commit the women to God in prayer. He is our hope, our deliverer, our rock and our fortress, in Him we entrust our lives and the lives of those He brings across our paths. To God be the glory!

Time to build hope into one another through encouraging the use of positive words. The Book of Proverbs has a lot to say about words:
- 15:"23 "A man finds joy in giving an apt reply - and how good is a timely word!
- 12:25 "An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up."
- 16:24 "Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bone."
- Luke 4:22, "All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips..."
During the whole evening, we kept filling ourselves with hope. Here's what the women came up with when asked what 'hope' meant to them:
"HOPE is the last sparks of the moonlight sparks of the moonlight disappearing and welcoming the first rays of sunlight to a new day."
"HOPE is about survival...""HOPE gives us a reason to carry on...""HOPE is 'direction' ... to where I want to go...""HOPE is from God... hope, faith and love go together...""HOPE is - opening my eyes in the morning and I am alive.""HOPE is seeing my family at the end of the day..."HOPE is holding my grandchildren in my arms, praying for them...""HOPE can be seen ..."HOPE can be held..." "HOPE can speak..." "HOPE is a thought... an idea, a dream..."
"Jesus is HOPE..." The Lord - He is my HOPE..."
