Hope is wanting and believing in something you don’t have yet. And in that space between wanting and having, between the present and the future, lies a gap that you can fill with one of the 3 things;

⁃ Despair

⁃ Fear

⁃ Faith

Despair is the decision to quit hoping, to quit wanting anything because disappointment has broken your heart….BUT

Fear creeps in when you want something but lack confidence in God’s faithfulness….. BUT

Faith upholds you when you want , and even when you ache while you don’t have what you want. It helps you stay focused on God’s trustworthiness…. THEREFORE,

Romans 5:5 New International Version (NIV)

AND HOPE DOES NOT PUT US TO SHAME, BECAUSE GOD’S LOVE HAS BEEN POURED OUT INTO OUR HEARTS THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHO HAS BEEN GIVEN TO US.
