Fantastic Friday #478 - Hope

Hope

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. Romans 5:5

What do you desire? What do you feel? What do you expect? The interesting thing about hope is that it involves a deep feeling that we come across when we desire or expect something. When we wait in anticipation for something to happen, we can have multiple feelings cross in and out of our mind. We also can have the enemy try and squash our hope by putting feelings of doubt, and unhealthy desires in our path. This can become quite challenging for those who don't have a strong faith in our God. This is why I love this passage so much. The Holy Spirit being poured into us can help protect us from those feelings of doubt, anxiousness, and negativity around us that would keep us from hoping for what is to come. The Holy Spirit can help us not feel the shame but give us hope for God's plan for our life. Let your hope shine brightly with the Holy Spirit as your guide.

Have a great weekend.
