“YOUR LONGING FOR HEAVEN IS GOOD, because it is an extension of your yearning for GOD. The hope of heaven is meant to strengthen and encourage you, filling you with wondrous Joy. Many Christians have misunderstood this word hope, believing that it denotes wishful thinking. Nothing could be farther from the truth! As soon as JESUS CHRIST, The LORD became your Savior, heaven became your ultimate destination. The phrase hope of heaven highlights the benefits you can enjoy even while remaining on earth. This hope keeps you spiritually alive during dark times of adversity; it brightens your path and heightens your awareness of The LORD’S Presence. GOD’S desire is that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. ROMANS 8 : 23 – 25
God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. HEBREWS 6 : 18 – 20
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ROMANS 15 : 13
Prayer: Lord, your hope is an anchor for my soul. It’s what I cling to in dark times. May your hope fill me with all joy and peace as I trust in you, by the power of your Holy Spirit who lives in me, so that I may overflow with hope. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
