Hope is a condition of living in a continuous expectation, guided by faith in your God and in His words (The promise), an absolute trust in His ability and the ability He had freely given to you, a determination to diligently follow His directions, to wait when He waits and to move when He moves; to exercise great patience and endurance till we see and fully experience His unfailing love and promises manifested in our lives.
This kind of life will take you from nothing to greatness beyond your dreams despite the odds.
From emptiness to His overflowing fullness despite physical and spiritual setbacks, denials, delays, victimization to a life of full restoration with joy.
That was the lifestyle of Abraham, David, Job and others and their end were glaring bright.
When hope and faith works together, it will replace hate and bitterness with love, sadness with rejoicing, frustration with expectation, and weaknesses with strength and failures with success.
The results are always amazing, hindering valleys being filled; impossible mountains and hills brought low for your passage, crooked and rough ways made smooth. You can never miss the glory that will be revealed thereafter.
Faith does not promise the lack of resistance and frustration in your daily endeavors, but promises to make all things possible, keeping you active and relevant till the positive results are achieved and you are enhanced.
So despite the mountains of difficulties and frustrations of the moment, keep hope and faith alive and your expectations will be within your reach soon
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Luke 3:5-6
When hope becomes hopeless, which sometimes will, faith will sustain you till the evidence appears, but without hope and faith discouragement sets in and life becomes meaningless and chances of success becomes unattainable and very difficult.
When the road to success is dark and insurmountable, when the journey seems impossible and very rough, when the wait period is excessive and the news is always unfavorable, let hope illuminate your path and faith will take you beyond the limitations to your desired destination with rejoicing.
“Three things will last forever faith, hope, and love and the greatest of these is love” I Corinthians 13:13
Decide to get out of frustration, anger, bitterness, hate, malice and jealousy and begin to live your life in faith, hope and in God’s love.
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly”. Romans 5:1-6
God will give you that change you have been waiting for.
