I always want to
 SEE HOPE,
because
I always want
 HOPE.
Therefore,
I am always anticipating the
CHANGE
that
HOPE
brings.
HOPE~
the GREAT EXPECTATION
for
THE GOOD
to happen.
But what is THE GOOD?
Is GOODÂ based on this happening or that happening,
or is
 THE GOOD
that
GOD IS HAPPENING,
even if this or that is not happening?
Hmm.
HOPE
is
BELIEVING
GOD IS ALWAYS HAPPENING.
HOPE
puts its TRUST in the UNSEEN
for
"We are saved by trusting.
And trusting means looking forward to getting something we don’t yet have—
for a man who already has something doesn’t need to HOPE
and trust that he will get it.
 But if we must keep trusting GOD
for something that hasn’t happened yet,
it teaches us to wait patiently and confidently"
 (Romans 8:24-25).
HOPEÂ is all around us
because
GODÂ is all around us.
HOPEÂ never dies
because
JESUS DIED
to bring us
REAL HOPE
that is out of this world,
yet resides in your HEART.
 And when you carry HOPE in your HEART,
it makes
 everything
 CHANGE,
because
HOPE
changes your
 HEART.
And as your
HEART
CHANGES,
HOPEÂ becomes so REAL
that it turns
into
REAL JOY
that is everlasting.
So even if you
 don't SEE HOPE on the outside
oh it is there,
because
GODÂ takes you
deeper and deeper
into
HIS HEART
which brings
HOPE to your HEART~Â
"Therefore we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day"*
(2 Corinthians 4:16).
NEW HOPE IS HERE
for
GOD WORKS ALL THINGS FOR THE GOOD
of those
WHO LOVE HIM
 (Romans 8:28)z.
THE GOOD
is the CHANGEÂ that happens
 on the INSIDE,
as GOD uses
ALL THINGS,
ALL PEOPLE,
ALL PLACES,
for
 your
GOOD
because
HE takes the HOPELESS things
that BREAK your HEART,
to draw you ever so closer to
HIS HEART,
and that is to a place where it becomes
just you and HIM.
Because when you
experience
REAL HOPE,
GODÂ takes you out of this world
and into
HIS WORLD~
"My HOPE is built on nothing less.
 Than JESUS' blood and righteousness.
 I dare not trust the sweetest frame.Â
But wholly lean on JESUS' name.
HOPE is found in nothing else,
 but JESUS CHRIST"
 ("ON SOLID ROCK").
So even if you and I can't
SEE CHANGEÂ on the outside
it doesn't mean
HOPEÂ doesn't exist.
What if nothing in your world has changed on the outside,
but everything has changed in your INSIDE,
would that be enough?
Is there a
BROKEN RELATIONSHIP
or a
BROKEN CIRCUMSTANCE
that is causing
the BROKEN FEELINGS
of HOPELESSNESS
in your heart,
that is causing you to be
HOPE LESS?
Are you ready to let go of the
LESSÂ from HOPE?
Therefore,
will you join me
in this very
SECOND
and take your eyes off of
what appears to be
UNCHANGING on your OUTSIDE world
by fixing your eyes
on WHO IS SEENÂ in ALL THINGSÂ at ALL TIMES,
so that
HOPEÂ becomes so alive in you,
making you
 become ever so alive,
because
JESUSÂ becomes so alive in you.
so that you experience of
SECOND OF HOPE
that flows into the next
SECOND
and then the next
SECOND,
and before you know it
all you can
SEE
is
"HOPE IN FRONT OF ME"
