but hope that is seen is not hope;
for why does one still hope for what he sees?
But if we hope for what we do not see,
we eagerly await for it with perseverance.
Romans 8:24-25 NKJV
I am Hope
I give you more than future glory,
I am your present glory.
I understand when you are uncertain
about My will,
when you cry out in despair
for the life of a loved one,
the mending of a relationship
that has gone awry like a sprung coil,
or for physical healing.
Do not lose heart,
do not lose hope,
because I hear
and I answer.
My ears are not closed to your voice;
I know your heart, I hear you,
but My perfect will does not flop like fish
on the sand. I cannot change
because you insist
you know better than I.
Allow My written Word,
which throbs with the power of hope,
to enter your mind and body
like fresh blood in your veins,
new life in your thoughts.
Your faith is the very substance,
that is, the express image,
of what what you hope for.
The unseen answer is
your present assurance
and evidence of the fulfillment
of My loving promises to you.
You have what you have asked for.
Take My mind, My wisdom,
My knowledge, My understanding,
these My gifts to you,
to give you hope,
for your hope is My Son,
the One who builds your mansion even now.
Tell Me, how will you recognize the sound
of His holy hammer and chisel
without hope?
Caress the sister of love,
which is My gift of hope,
for you have not been guided
by human wisdom, no.
I have taught you by My Holy Spirit,
so now! Bulldoze the mountains,
sound the battle cry,
prepare to win!
Your hope of glory
is Christ in you.
