Where do you find hope?

The answer to the question “What do you think this hope is”?
Is found in the beginning of the verse. The hope is that we are right with God.

Since there is nothing outside of God, We must be found right with him. Since no man has ever pleased or sought God (Romans 3:11) we can not be right with him. Yet if we are found “in Christ” 2 cor 5:17 Then our hope is that we are joint heirs with his son. This is a hope not seen as we see experientially. But it is a hope we see in positional truth. We are in Christ, placed there by God Himself. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23.

There is no greater hope than that of being right with God
May the peace of God that passes all understanding be with you now and forver! Amen!


God Bless,
Mike

Wee one, don't put your hope in me. I am nobody. Although I like the quote "Shared joys are doubled; shared sorrows are halved", the only real hope we have must come from the Source - Jesus.

Aladdin :-* thinking about you!

 

Beautiful Sherry! (meant both ways)

Maybe I should learn to respond in such precise manner. Till then you will get lengthy posts from me.

But see, I am working on it!

God Bless,
Mike

 

Thank you Mike and Sherry.....beautiful.....both of you. I've read this thread many times, too.

 

Mike, I can tell from your posts that you have an intimate relationship with our Heavenly Dad. God bless you.

 

"Cease, every joy, to glimmer on my mind,
Bur leave ---oh! leave the light of Hope behind."

--Cicero (106BC-43BC) "Ad Atticum"

Hope is definitely a light in a dark place. We always keep looking for the light at the end of the tunnel.

 

I find hope in:

a rising and setting sun
rain on the window
a cup of coffee
a good movie
a good friend
popcorn
my father's smile
a shopping spree
a long walk
fresh cut grass
Chinese food
clean laundry

there are many more, I am sure

 

"And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in Thee."

"If we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we WAIT eagerly for it." Romans 8:25

Waiting is hard. How is that a part of hoping?

Waiting is the special part of hope. If already have, then we have nothing to hope for. If we believe we will receive then we have hope.

 

Michael Card says in his book "A Sacred Sorrow - Reaching Out to God in the Lost Language of Lament":
"If hope were ever to be found, it would not be in the world of men."
