Hope

Proverbs 13:12 - Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.

How many times have you heard someone say, "I will be happy when......"?

When:
The house is paid off
The car loan is paid off
The credits cards are paid off
The kids are out of school
This project is completed
This product or service is attained
I see someone special
I get even with an adversary
Attain my degree - High School, Bachelors, Masters, or Doctor of Philosophy
_____________________________________(Add from your list)

The potential length for this list is extraordinary, with time and effort invested in its creation. Today's scripture from Proverbs states, living in the hope of tomorrow makes our heart sick. How can we achieve everything in one day? Nearly everything in the above short list requires days if not years to achieve. This is where faith enters our lives, our minds, and our beliefs. As Hebrews 11 informs us, Faith is the substance of things hoped for without any observable evidence.

The bible instructs us to ask in Christ's name expecting results. Consequently, Hope is immediately available upon asking and believing. Our longing desires are fulfilled; we are able to enjoy the tree of life. When we desire a voyage, whether vacation or visiting family or friends; excitement commences with planning, packing, and traveling. Once we request our desires with belief in Christ, we begin planning, packing, and traveling toward our journey. Hope is no longer deferred; the longing is fulfilled.

God desires relationships with His people and for His people to engage with one another. "When two or more are gathered in my name, I am in their midst". Attainment is a process allowing us to strengthen our relationship with our Lord, retaining our dependence on Him. He often has us work with others, building new relationships, strengthening present or former relationships. Uplifting our Lord and His Word at all times.

The longings of our heart, our hope; is fulfilled each day regardless of our circumstances. We recognize this in Faith, Faith God hears our prayers, provides our needs, wipes out our debts, protects our loved ones. The journey is now.

Live in the Hope of this Day - Knowing Christ is fulfilling each of your longings. a tree of Life, a healthy heart!

God has plans for you this day, and every day!

Make it a Great Day in Christ - Live in the Belief of Faith!!!

A Humble Servant of our Lord,
