Job 6:8 - "Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During my childhood, the word "Hope" pertains to a cigarette brand. And I don't even bother to know what it means, as I thought back then that it is just a name like any other cigarette brands like Marlboro, or Salem or Winston.
But now, I look at "hope" in a very different way. I look at it as the very essence of our relationship with the Lord. It is fully believing and knowing that God will be eternally present in our lives, hence, we should never give up on His love.
In sickness, we hope that we get well. In suffering, we hope that we get away from all these miseries. We hope for something better, and not the other way around. For hoping is a virtue that we received through Divine grace that will help us excel, endure and win over trials and temptations.
Let us not lose hope. Enjoy life with the Lord, and forever hope that His love will see us through the hardships of life.
+ Let us pray: Lord God, I hope in you. In those times I feel helpless, in those times that I feel weak, and in those times that I am in darkness, I pray and hope for a better future. I pray for your kindness and love, so I may overcome all these trials, and be with You all time of my life. Amen +
