Just me trying to be honest with God.

Christian hope is more akin to the expectation of someone looking forward to spring than it is like a child hoping it doesn't rain over the holidays.

“I hope in Your word.” Ps119

It is one thing to say, “I hope I have a baby,” and another to say, “I am expecting a baby.”  The latter is more akin to the hope we have as Christians. Our hope is firmly and inseparably joined to our faith, and our faith is no mere leap in the dark.  It is a solid trust rooted in God’s proven character. Father has always delivered what He has promised, and our faith and hope expects that He always will. If God does anything, He always keeps His word. Conversations Within” ts 7/31/2015
