Romans 5:5 "Hope does not
disappoint because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through
the Holy Spirit that has been given to us."
Hope is a healthy attitude. Anticipating good brings
comfort to the mind and heart. In contrast, a state of hopelessness is a
terrible condition in which to find oneself. It's overwhelming and depressing
to think that what you're facing cannot be changed or resolved. For the person
who has lost all hope, life looks like a long dark tunnel going nowhere.
Emotional, physical, and even mental illness haunt a person who feels trapped in a bleak situation. But as long as there is a God, no situation is hopeless. We can cling to Him through whatever trials are facing us.
Believers have a hope that anchors their souls. Our relationship with Jesus Christ brings us close to the throne of heaven, where we can cast all our burdens before an omnipotent God. Because of the Lord's great love, He provides strength for weary bodies, peace for anxious minds, and comfort for grieving hearts. In short, He lights that darkened tunnel and tenderly guides us through trying situations.
