At last, it must be a breakthrough! I said to myself. But it isn’t a turning point yet. I hope it is going in the right direction.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!I am weary, I grew tired. My life got detoured, that’s how I felt, by the way. Life must come back to its original trajectory. Why does it have to be me all this time? I took a deep sigh!
The thrill of hope, yes, that dopamine impact in the midst of hopelessness, is satisfying. There must be light at the end of the tunnel. It must be there; it has to be.
In the midst of my prayer, I can feel it. My humble prayers would be answered one day. Still, things are not going in the right direction as of now. The Lord remembers!
I strive hard to not give up. That’s not me!
God remembered:
The gospel of Luke doesn’t tell us about Jesus or Mary right off the bat; he starts with Zechariah and Elizabeth. Their story preceded the nativity story by the foretelling and the birth of John the Baptist.
There is a thrill of hope when the angel told the barren woman would bear a child.
Yahweh had remembered, after all. Luke 1:13 It appears, in a way, of a pre-planned setup. The meaning of their names – Elizabeth and Zechariah all come together, giving hope to them.
And now I began to think of the meaning of our names; my wife’s and I. I was there; sometimes that’s how some of the minutes of my life ended up.
A thrill of hope:
In a thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices.”
Of course, in the darkness of any given moment, it can be hard to imagine things will change. Disappointment and heartache have a way of feeling permanent, while joy doesn’t seem to stick around for too long.
I don’t know about you, but I’m weary. So, I try to take comfort in knowing that because Jesus has come, we can have hope. Things will not always be what they are now.
Truly speaking, it was beyond my thought that I have come this far. The battles that I fought inwardly and the temptations that I endured and slipped up big time haunted me at times.
Above all, if I had been there at all times, my life would have been messed up more with the people sent to me. Yet the help of the Lord is always at hand. I try hard to be contented with the sufficiency of God’s grace. 2 Cor.12:9
Hope in the barren world:
When Luke opens up his Gospel, he doesn’t tell us about Jesus or Mary or Joseph right off the bat. Instead, he tells us about Zechariah and Elizabeth, an old married couple who had been unable to have children.
In retrospection, my journey somehow ended up or appeared barren – I started off well enough. Working full-time for a man is contentment, but for now, I have to hold onto the hope I have in the Lord God.
In the midst of it, there were Awards I have received by the grace of God. The hard thing to bear is my health condition. I wanted to hide it all, but I have to face the reality as well.
Hope for the future:
The trill of hope is satisfying. As I get better and try to get equipped with the word of God, I believe a time will come when I will have the chance to serve as a steward of the living God.
I hope that as God guides me into another world, the lord will heal me for making me able to serve in a capacity where his name will be glorified through me.
You can pray for me and guide me if you have any advice. In the coming year, I somehow have this thrill of hope that I will be serving the Lord with better health, not staying at home or staying at home.
The thrill of hope:
I am nothing; I have no good name nor any good character or qualification. Yet I believe the Lord works wonders, and I have seen it before. Yet there were times I was very low on my hope level. So, I committed the remaining years of my life to know and serve his purpose.
These verses from the Scripture give me the thrill of hope:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Jer. 29:11
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Rom.15:13 “But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles…” Isaiah 40:31
This thrill of hope from the word of the Lord is satisfying to what my life has become. Pray for me and my future.
Post-Christmas thought, and waiting for the dawn of the New Year 2026 and the year to come so we may serve the Lord God.
