Hope Shines is about positivity in a predominantly negative world! About a hope that is found only in the love and name of Jesus. A hope that we can have because what was done for us, not because we deserve it but because of grace! Hebrew 6:19 "We have this hope as an anchor for our soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become the high priest for now and forever..."

First of all I am extremely blessed to have the platform I do to spread the name of Jesus and that is only possible because of His grace.
