Gratitude for Hope
“18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;” -Hebrews 6:18-19
For me, Hope is in my connection to God, Prayer. My prayer is an expression of hope that there is a power beyond me.
When I was about 6 years old, I had a favorite doll. One day while I was playing with her, the arm popped out of the socket and it was like the end of the world to me. I remember sitting on the corner of my bed, sobbing. My mom somehow knew I needed help and she came in and popped the arm back into the doll’s body.
I still remember and can even now physically experience the devastation at the perceived loss and hopelessness of the doll ever being made whole again. And I can still physically feel the joy of the restoration of the doll to her former glory.
This experience illustrates how I feel when I am going through something beyond my control. It takes child-like faith akin to hope, to believe there is an answer. When it comes, it is like the sun coming out from behind ominous clouds.
Hope is seeing and recognizing tangible blessings within the glimpses and visions of what is coming.
When we think of Hope, we usually think of putting hope in something outside of our control (because we feel out of control). I loved what Mary on our call today said: “There is hope for me. I believe in me.” We can have hope within ourselves!
Consider this progression of Hope: Desire >> Hope >> Trust >> Faith >> Action >> Knowing
If we have no hope, take a step back to simply having a desire for hope. If we have faith, take it a step forward by taking action which creates tangible evidence of your faith. When we have tangible evidence, it is no longer faith, we KNOW!
It’s good to have Hope. Even better is to have the courage to trust enough to take faith-filled action.
New Ideas to Consider:
- I am capable
- I believe in me
- I have hope in the future and I am taking faith filled action today
- I carry the power of hope with me as I move forward in faith
- I am in a stage of complete, absolute faith,
- I am patiently being consistent in my daily routines and connecting with God
- I am receiving the resources and blessings I desire
- I graciously know these blessings are on their way
- There is no worry, fear or panic, there is a state of absolute knowing and feeling God’s divine love.
