hopes unseen

was surprised to see this in my inbox in facebook from a dear friend (who never fails to inspire me...)... it was a word in season... and a great encouragement and yes.. God knows all things... just perserve...

here's the extract of the beautiful message from kelly ...
***********

Romans 8:24-32 (Amplified)

24For in [this] hope we were saved. But hope [the object of] which is seen is not hope. For how can one hope for what he already sees?

25But if we hope for what is still unseen by us, we wait for it with patience and composure.

26So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.

27And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God's will.

28We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.

29For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren.

30And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being].

31What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]

32He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?

Some many beautiful things in these verses.

This is for your hope unseen...

Guess we are all hoping and waiting upon an answer from God. Something we hope but not yet see. My prayer is that you will continue in this hope.

- God knows you and He is loving you.
- The Holy Spirit will help you.
- God know you are there. He is with you and He is a partner with you in what you are called.
- God will withhold no good things from those who love him
- God will be glorified in you [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being]. (vs.30)

Keeping hoping and trusting in His character, His faithfulness, His great love for you, His desire and destiny of good for you. It's going to be so very ok ... :)
