Romans 15:13
in
The Message Bible,
has
such an air
of
anticipation in it.
" Oh!
May the God of green hope
fill you up with joy,
fill you up with peace,
so that your believing lives,
filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit,
will brim over
with hope!"
The color green denotes life and growth.
So it should be with hope ... continually growing, producing more life.

Green hope -- I'd never heard or read this before -- how beautiful!
The color green has always felt fresh and alive to me. I really like this photo with the backlight on the leaves ~ beautiful!

I love the connection of green and hope. I have camped on that word for a long time now. In difficult times, He is all my hope.
That photo is exquisite -- including the browning edges of the leaves. And it is a perfect picture of hope.
thanks! Without hope our lives would be very miserable.
Blessings,Ruth
Perfect.
Yes...green and alive! That is a great hope!
Beautiful light shining on the tender, newer leaves!
I am so blessed by you, your photos, your heart, and your union to Christ. Even though mister Mac is being naughty, your images are outstanding.
Each day I have a new favorite.
Blessings.

I so enjoy reading the Message paraphrase, and letting familiar passages of God's Word fall fresh on these ears.
Beautiful words & image. Hope is what I need right now.

Oh, thank you for this message of hope! Just what I needed today!
Lovely pics and words of hope. Thank you!
Green hope! I've never seen that. I always think of hope as red--a towla worm, a scarlet thread.
Hope is red AND green--Christmas colors!
