Hope in Him

     Illustrating a truth of The Power of Believing (Main Healing Lesson 13)
          and Hope for Hopeless Situations

The joy that hope releases is what happens automatically within us whenever our hearts are beholding the unchanging reality of who our God is to us and who we are in Him. Those who learn how to hold fast to their hope in Him will never be disappointed (Romans 10:11). This has nothing to do with seeing our desires come to pass, for hope that is seen is not hope (Romans 8:24). It has everything to do with seeing Him who is the source of our hope and the end of all our desires (see Hope in God and the God of Hope). Since this Reality never changes all of our hopes can be safely anchored in Him!
