Recently I came across this quote; H.O.P.E.; Hold on Pain Ends. Very powerful few words. We all deal with pains from one way to another. Hope is all we need. But hope in-and what? What is Hope? Trust, full expectations. As a Christian we base hope on the eternal love. To share a piece of Bible text that really sums up the faith and hope: Romans 5: 1-5.

‘Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.’

To come back to my last piece of writing ‘Feeling Cursed’, tribulations we all face, but one more then another. How much can we handle? How do we persevere? Hope; hope, trust and expect; in the promise of God. Who stands above all, because His Love endures forever. We can blame Him for choices we made, but that’s not fair. God gave us the freedom to make our own choices, and how they are rooted and how they are made can be based on self-protection or on hope and trust in His love.

We all know it all ends for us someday, but is this really true? End, it’s over, nothingness. But then what meaning does hope have? Remember; Pain Ends. But what will begin? Love. Eternal Love. For God there is no beginning and no end. He is just that; ‘I am the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.’ (Revelation 22:13) But He promises eternal life to those whom believe; ‘For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal Life in Christ Jesus our Lord.’ (Romans 6:23) Christ put on our sins, our poor choices upon Himself for us whom believe.

So eternal means; no end. No end! Endless love; no pain, no sorrow, no hard choices, no hard situations, no. Just joy in love. So hope! Hope in Him, He’ll set you free!
