Inspiration

Hoping Into Possibility

Reflections for contemplative living

Hope can arouse us like nothing else to live in the space of possibility. To sustain us on our life journey, God gives us the seeds of faith, hope, and love. Hope inspires and drives us to move mountains. Hope helps us broaden our perspective and see the possibilities in our life.

For many of us, we have ideas or plans that were never pursued to completion. Perhaps some pursuits were more complicated than we were equipped to handle. But it’s likely that we gave up the idea, or ran from the struggle, before we even experienced the first major barrier. We were short on hope, vision, and confidence. Most of all, we probably lacked faith that God could guide our steps and help us make the decisions that would bring our efforts to completion.

As my faith grows, so does my connection to God. I gain confidence that God is the source of hope and provides all the strength and understanding I need for any challenge or creative endeavor. With this hope, nothing is so overwhelming that I can’t move forward, and nothing is beyond my grasp. When I let go of my expectations by forcing a particular outcome and let God drive the possibilities. 

Thank you, Lord, for giving me hope in You that overcomes any barrier I meet today.
