Hope is an amazing and wonderful thing. We rally our energies around what we can hope for. It helps achieve things we may have thought unlikely or impossible. It helps us to endure what we could not otherwise endure.
Hope in this world is important. But when grounded on the hope in heaven, hope can be unshakable. The things of heaven are far more important than the things of earth. Viz, things of heaven last forever, are full of perfect love, happiness, have no sorrow, sadness, regret, pain, envy, hatred, misunderstanding, suffering. Much could be said about each of those.
Hope is important. Very often we are apt to look only on the present world for hope. Remember we have an unshakable hope, purchased d by the great sacrifice of Jesus Christ, settled forever in the heavenly.
No one know what the future may hold. Pandemic, unemployment, recession, war, broken dreams. But as is often said, we know who holds the future.
“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” – Romans 15:13
