The Interpersonal Connection ~ There Is Hope ~ Part (2)

Encouragement & Inspiration. Let's Talk About It, Then Pray About It. There Is Hope (Part 2)  We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. Martin Luther King, Jr. To wish for something with expectation of its fulfillment. To look forward to with confidence or expectation. A wish or desire accompanied by confident expectation. Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one’s life.

Thou are my HOPE: O Lord GOD, Thou are my confidence from my youth. (Psalm 75:5) Fanny Crosby who was blind caught the idea of expectant living in her famous hymn Blessed Assurance. Perfect submission, all is at rest. I in my Savior am happy and blest, Watching and waiting, looking above, filled with His goodness, lost in His love. The blessed hope is the absolute certainty that God will do good to us in the future and includes the idea that we are looking forward to this hope. Our blessed hope is the desire of some good with expectation of obtaining it. Our blessed hope is the totality of blessing that awaits the Christian in the life to come. Our blessed hope in the New Testament is an expectation of something good to come but it is something we must wait patiently for. Our blessed hope gives us confident expectancy.
