What is the depth of hope?
Have you ever sought a particular outcome in any particular situation?
Perhaps you have a dream job that you are working to reach. You have studied, gotten the education required. Then applied and achieved an interview and are awaiting a response.
You are hopeful.
The doctors have said you are facing a tough battle ahead to regain your health after coming down with an unexpected affliction. You follow their guidance, change your habits, eat better, exercise, and follow the medical regimen.
You are improving and await a new prognosis from your doctor.
You are hopeful.
Your mind and body is troubled by an addiction. You try to stop using. You go to counseling and see progress. Then when you find yourself weak you use again. You find yourself in the depths of despair for failing once again. You start over once again.
You are hopeful.
You’ve met someone new; your heart flutters and beats faster. Your mind desires a chance for what you believe may be love. They like you back. You go out on a date and things seem promising.
You are hopeful.
You are a boy who wishes to please his father. He wants a baseball star. You try to pitch and you have no power or control. You try to hit but you miss every time. But you desire is to make your father proud. So, you keep trying.
You are hopeful.
Within your soul you can tap into the source of eternal hope. It will sustain you in the darkest or brightest times. The hope can uplift others who cross your path. What is the source? God blessed each of us with the ability to find the hope and tap into it by asking Jesus into our lives. That hope may not allow us to achieve our dream but it will help us no matter the result of our attempting to reach it.
