Do I dare hope in Him?

Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, “The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!” The LORD is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him. So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the LORD. And it is good for people to submit at an early age to the yoke of his discipline: (Lamentations 3:21-27 NLT)

Do I dare hope in Him? Do I dare trust and wait? This is an ongoing decision I have to make every day. He IS faithful to His promises and SO good to us!! This is so easy to lose sight of in the face of opposition. Lately I have felt like I am in a process of deep healing and waiting on the Lord. It is so easy to get impatient and either take matters into my own hands or give up on His promises altogether. But God is teaching me, all over again, the beauty in the process. He is showing me, step by step, to let Him be my motivation. "It's okay to not have it altogether Hope! That's why I'm here, to hold you together. I am strong in your weakness." He keeps proving the when, "Have I not been good and faithful to you? What makes you think that would change?"... But the when has still not arrived! So I rest in His unchanging love. I cuddle up next to His strong arm. As I learn to wait, I learn to embrace my Father. I learn to trust Him as He takes me deeper. I learn to hope in Him like I have never hoped before. I learn to call Him with desperation, "Yes, you came when I called; you told me, 'Do not fear.'" (Lamentations 3:57 NLT). I am letting go more and more and letting him take me to a place where faith has no limit. Where faith is full and infinite. Each day, the challenge is renewed. The question is asked, "Will you dare to hope in me?" No amount of opposition can compare to the greatness and power of His love. It is vital  that we hold onto the promises He gives rather than the losses. We must let our hope in Him heal every hurt and lift every burden. He is all around, speaking life and promise into us constantly. Let His voice be what moves you, not the voice of opposition... In the end, The Light of the World wins! 

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. (Revelation 21:3-7 ESV)
