< hope

Hope - this word carries with it the idea of confidence (or confiding in) and anticipation. Here’s the thing…it’s not just living with expectation, it’s living with joyful expectation that brings pleasure!

As I was reading this and studying this I thought that was it. Living with joyful expectation that Jesus will show up in life…that’s hope, that’s love!

But then it continues…our belief and hope fills us with joy and peace and we live life full of the very joyful confidence that we hope in! If this hope is LOVE then entering into this relationship and exchange with God is all about love…that’s the full life that Jesus has called us to.
