Hebrews 11 (the faith chapter)

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1 NIV)

Faith is our confidence and assurance in what we cannot see and what we hope for .  We have hope in this life because of our God and all he's done for us. We sang a song last night at church called "Hope was born this night " by sidewalk prophets and as I was singing it I was thinking about how my life was changed when Jesus was born.  I am loved and free because Jesus was born - son of God- my hope, my family's hope my friend's hope  - I live in expectation of what is to come through my savior.
