Like Noah, we are asked to leave what is bad. Our hope is to land in a good place. Life—like Noah’s ark— may take us through rough seas, but our hope is not in good circumstances but in God’s Word and Promise.

God promises to be my keeper and shelter, like the clouds that shield me day and night. He is also like an umbrella that keeps off the sun’s heat in the day; and a tent that I can lie and sleep safely at night.
He promises to be with me all the time – whether it rains or shines. He holds my hand and never let it go. Through the rain, at times of trouble, He is always there. Thank you Lord, for walking with me, especially through the storms in my life; and for protecting me and holding me close.
The Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the debt for our sins, and He rose again. He has gone to prepare a place for believers in Heaven, and has promised that He will come again for us. When He comes again, believers will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye (the time it takes for light to reflect off an eye), at the last trumpet, from corruptible to incorruptible, from mortal to immortal. We will meet Him in the air, and be with Him forevermore! Believe in Him, and share our blessed hope!
God promises that I am not alone. My drawing shows dandelions and they represent God’s hope on the road to recovery. The lady is me and I am not alone. I was diagnosed with SLE, lymphoma and liver cirrhosis. During that same period, I experienced depressions and anxiety. Every day, I did not have the mood to do anything. Last month, during my recovery journey, I did my Bible study and did some art. Though the sickness is still with me, and it has led to all parts of my body not functioning well, which was a challenge for me, I never let go of myself. Life is worth living. I love art as it can help me destress, focus and find solutions out of problems! I found joy and contentment inside me as I pass my days – cool and calm! Years passed. Recently, my doctor found out that my thyroid has worsened and referred me to a specialist for further investigation. God is always with me and His promises never fail, so I am looking forward to my recovery. He is forever with me during my sickness.
