God has done many amazing things. \u00a0Some we have seen ourselves and others we have heard from other people and, some even, we have read in the Bible. God is amazing!<\/p>\n<p>The sad thing is that some people can see the glory of God and yet they fail to hope in it. \u00a0Some cast it aside as unreal, unbelievable, or fake. \u00a0Truthfully, I can&#8217;t blame them. \u00a0If someone doesn&#8217;t believe in God or trust God, I can understand why they would have problems believing in someone who, not only rose from the dead, but has risen others from the dead. \u00a0(In their case) I can understand why it would be \u00a0hard to hope in someone who multiplies little and makes it huge. He does crazy amazing things!<\/p>\n<p>I feel that in order to remind others that God is amazing, and glorious, we should continue to tell of all the wonderful things that He has done in our lives and not shy away when the opportunity arises. \u00a0To speak up and say &#8220;This is possible all by the grace of God!&#8221; is an enormous thing to do. \u00a0It points to the glory of God &#8211; <span style=\"color: #008080;\"><em>the same glory that is our hope<\/em><\/span>. \u00a0So, point to it&#8230;continue to point it&#8230;and don&#8217;t ever stop pointing to it so that others can find the hope that we have.
