Reflections From Sunday Evening

Our dictionary definition of hope is "desire with expectation of fulfillment." Today we talked about the three components of the definition. Here is a reminder. When our desires are consistent with the heart of God (which happens when we spend time in God's presence) there is an increasing degree of expectation for fulfillment. There are a couple of things we incorporate into our equation that will raise our level of expectation. Faith and Spirit. When the Holy Spirit comes and refreshes us our faith is activated. When faith is Spirit activated hope rises. My prayer for you is that your hope rise. We may anticipate the Spirit stirring our souls and refreshing our faith. Enter your week with renewed expectation. Hope is desire with expectation of fulfillmnent. It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too. steve
