Life is filled with things that carry us away from fully abandoning and surrendering ourselves to Our Saviour. The road is narrow ...
At times, we hold onto our sense of self so tight that we worship our needs and that
At times, we are overwhelmed with detours that jolt our faith in Christ and filled our soul with doubts.
When the slightest sense of hopelessness knocks at our hearts, we easily let it into our hearts ...that's when it starts to turn corrosive that eats up our sense of Hope ...
How easily we choose to forget about the Hope that He has installed for us through the Salvation ...
His hope saved and delivered me ...
Elpis ...
... is the greek word for HOPE. (as in 1 Peter 1:3 - "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living HOPE through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade - kept in heaven for you.)
... Nothing is more strengthening than knowing that there's is a hope in the midst of suffering and hardships. Our Hope is rooted in Christ ... and not myself ... and that changed my life.
... this is still the word in my heart, if one day God allows my dream to come into live.
Thanks to lo-sai brother for this song ... tears washed away the sense of hopelessness ... and slowly filled with a sense of strength that calms my heart.
"There is a hope that burns within my heart,
that gives me strength for ev'ry passing day;
a glimpse of glory now revealed in meager part,
yet drives all doubt away:
I stand in Christ, with sins forgiv'n;
and Christ in me, the hope of heav'n!
My highest calling and my deepest joy,
to make His will my home."
"There is a hope that lifts my weary head,
a consolation strong against despair,
That when the world has plunged me in its deepest pit,
I find the Saviour there!
Through present suff'rings, future's fear,
He whispers "courage" in my ear.
For I am safe in everlasting arms,
And they will lead me home."
"There is a hope that stands the test of time,
That lifts my eyes beyond the beck'ning grave,
To see the matchless beauty of a day divine
when I behold His face!
When suff'rings cease and sorrows die,
And ev'ry longing satisfied.
Then joy unspeakable will flood my soul,
For I am truly home."
