HOPE
HOPE is illogical. It is not based on circumstance. HOPE comes from God and God alone.
Society preaches logical myths that comfort, wealth and beauty will bring some sort of happiness if we had these conveniences. THAT IS A LIE.
“And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you.”
Optimism and Pessimism are twin sisters. Both tell you what is going to happen, and they both are true. But neither bring you what you hope they will. Only HOPE will.
HOPE isn't getting all life's securities. HOPE doesn't need to know what will happen. That's optimism.
Last night our family made "HOPE" boards. Heaven will be a huge victory party and we HOPE to all be there with HIM, and we will…because HE is here!
