Good evening Fam❤. Here I'm wishing you a happy New Month, also wishing you many more beautiful days throughout this Month of June.

Welcome to Hive Open Mic Community Contest Week #164. I remain your favorite girl Utymarvel. This week's contest is quite an amazing one. I have seen a lot of people sharing their story of hope and I must commend our beautiful spotlight artist @jmis101 for this feat.

Our theme for the week is totally Inspirational. Hopeful is a feeling, an emotion of anticipation about a future event.
A thing you've not yet seen, but then your mind has traveled to the future to find it. Hope Is a positive emotion because its results are always meant to be good.
Countless times we've experienced failed hopes. I personally have been in this circle a lot of times, not everything I planned really Worked most times.

At one point I got so angry when I noticed that the things I really hope for after putting so much effort into it goes into thin air…….. Well I prayed about it, intensely that it has to end. Gloriously things have changed a lot this year.

My Choice of Song in regards to this Hymn is one of My favorite Hymns, "In Christ Alone". Well ever since I understood the full meaning of these lyrics my fears and Worries have reduced Greatly. Especially the Last Verse, it summarizes my whole being and what I stand to gain as a child of God. I am Hopeful that my Life has Changed, no more bottom rock Experiences, light has come to me, and God is the only one I put my hope in.

I have a lot to say about this theme but then let me allow you to enjoy this piece. T for tthenk sit tight, don't touch your screen and Listen.

Lyrics

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! – who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe.
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied –
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine –
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life’s first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand:
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.

Thanks for Listening
