What would you say, if someone asked you why you are a Christian? I suppose every Christian could offer a different reason, but think about this passage, and see whether it epitomizes why you follow Jesus Christ,

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15.13). 

You want hope.
You want God.
You want joy and peace to fill you.
You want to believe.
You want hope that abounds by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Keep believing and watch the God of hope work in your life, and watch Him fill you with hope, joy, peace, greater belief, and boundless hope as He works through His Spirit.
