True Hope
Not long ago I visited the Burj Khalifa. The line looked short-just down the corner. Yet as we entered the building, we discovered the line of people stretching through the lobby, up the stairs, and into another room.
Attractions and theme parks carefully route their crowds to make the lines shorter. Yet disappointments lurk "just around the corner".
Sometimes life's disappointments are much more severe. The job we hoped for doesn't materialise; the romantic relationship we longed for fails to work out, the loss of a loved one. But into these heartbreaks, God's word speaks of a refreshing truth about hope in Him.
As we place our trust in Him, God whispers the truth that we are unconditionally loved and will be liberated by Him- regardless of the obstacles we face. In a world that may often disappoint us, how good it is to know that God gives us true genuine hope.
