Hope!

Hope!

May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.
Romans 15:13 AMPC

Which God have you come to believe in? There is only one true God; the One who invites me to come into a relationship with Him, who demands total submission to Him and complete faith in Him; the One who gave His life so I could have life. He is the One who is introduced to us here. He is called the God of your hope. If He is not your God, you cannot lay claim to the benefit of hope that He offers.

And when you come to believe Him, He fills your life with the hope that comes with joy and peace. He fills every available space, because He is the all-sufficient One. He doesn't do half-measures; it's either He is enough for you or He is not there at all. When I believe in Him, he takes over my heart. The things that were difficult for me to trust Him for become easy, because His Spirit now lives inside me. I look forward to eternal life, because my faith in God believes his promise of eternal life.

As a result of God's total occupation of my heart, there is no way I will not overflow. If God fills all of me, my life becomes a daily overflow of His Presence. When men look at me, the signs of a healthy relationship with God is very evident. I am not moved by things around me; I only work on having and keeping God inside me. When storms arise or winds blow, I just confirm that God still lives in me and i smile. The hope in me is not conditional on things being easy; but it is hope born, raised and sustained by the Lord of the Universe. Is this the same God you have submitted to or do you have another? His time of favour is here.
