What if we give of our hearts?

To live with a hope in our hearts; to be that hope because we've been given a hope.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:1

What do we hope for? How does hope bring us forward?

I think hope is a liberating thing. People dwell in the shackles of the past, of things that could have been, that would have been. They see themselves through the lenses of the things they have done, the person they have been. It's inevitable, isn't it? How else will you see yourself?

These shackles - they hold us. They have a death grip on us.

But that's the thing. What if this hope is something that has overcome death? That means... those shackles... are completely powerless now!

To live not in the shadow of who we've been, but in the glorious hope of who we will be.

To live for this hope of the future.

To be free.

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Romans 5:5

I am alive in this moment.
