Romans 5:5
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.
There is nothing wrong with being a positive person. You have no idea what is going to happen in the future, so why not spend today hoping for the best. Let’s say tomorrow you are going to die. If you knew that, what would you do? Would you spend the time worrying about it? Would you be all sad and upset for the next 24 hours? I hope I wouldn’t. I actually know I wouldn’t. I would do everything I could to make the next 24 hours the most spectacular time I had with my family and friends.
So, now let me ask you this. You have no idea if you have the next 24 hours or 24 years ahead of you. You have two choices. You can spend each hour in gloom, worry, hatred, and darkness OR you can fill them with love, hope, and beauty. I know which I would rather do with my time.
Now, let’s talk about those dark times. We all go through them. They are a part of life. We have two choices here also. We can let go of all hope and slip deeper into the darkness OR we can hang on to our hope. We can hope for a brighter hour heading our way as we sit in the darkness right now. We can hold on to the hope that God is working and still in control. He sees us right where we are and is holding on to us.
Hope never puts you to shame, because God loves you and is pouring out all His love into your heart. The Holy Spirit is right by your side and sitting in that darkness
holding you and reminding you the calvary is
on the way! So keep your hope alive!
Lord, I am holding on for a brighter day. I do not want to spend my days sulking. I want to hang on to my hope. ~amen
