Your hope in the saving grace of Christ Jesus will definitely bring a beautiful reward soon; it will surely yield its sweet fruits for you; it will change your situation like that of Sarah and Hannah and it will change that shameful name that people in their anger and wickedness had given to you; it will change your language and will affect your dreams and visions and desires and actions; it will change the kind of friends you keep and the ones that wants to hang around with you; it will bring you into the new light of your dreams and prayers; it will establish you with a testimony; it will confirm that it is good to trust and to hope and to hold on to the Lord; it will confirm you as someone who had been saved and washed clean and set for the father’s glory.

If your hope in Christ had not fail, then you will never fail despite that attacks, the delays, the denials and the frustrations; if your hope in Christ had not diminish in any way, then you will experience the miracle that you had been destined to have, that was what Abraham did despite the delays in having Isaac; if your hope in Christ had not shifted to man, then the God whom you hold unto will never disappoint you in any way. There is no shame in hope and there is no loneliness and worries and despair when your hope in anchored in Him alone.        

Irrespective of your current situation; irrespective of the number of years you have been in that same situation and place in life; irrespective of the words of men to and against you; irrespective of the names they are calling you; irrespective of the shame and the humiliations; irrespective of the denials and frustrations you have suffered in life; irrespective of the pains and the daily cries; irrespective of the denomination you are affiliated to; irrespective of the number of times you pray each day and your commitment in the things of God, your hope in the saving grace of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ will never be a waste and will never be in vain. His will reward you; He will uphold you and He will glorify Himself in you. People may have failed and disappointed you several times, but your hope in Christ Jesus will not end in failure or disappointment. People you trusted may have turned their back on you several times when you are in dare need, but your hope in Christ Jesus will turn that need to your advantage and you will be established soon.

“And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.  Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ. Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering. Sometimes you were exposed to public ridicule and were beaten, and sometimes you helped others who were suffering the same things. You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever. So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you. Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised. For in just a little while, the Coming One will come and not delay. And my righteous ones will live by faith. But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away. But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.” Hebrews 10:19-39. It may take long, but your hope will bless you and will yield fruits, bring you lasting peace and blessings.
