Yet To Be #50

There is a wrong and a right even with hope.

# 16 of 31 False Hope, Again

False hope is based on ignorance, believing unrealistically, given to foolish expectations.

There is a wrong and a right, even with hope. 

But what if you believe and have faith and ask doubting nothing, but trusting that these things will come to pass, is that not hope?

Hope at times is blind to reality.  It only sees the possible through the eyes of faith.

There is no vengeful desires with hope. 

There is no consumption of lust.

There is no darkness in hope.

There is no fear with hope, because fear has torment.

There is only peace. This is the peace of God that surpasses all understanding.

Yet To Be #48

He is my anchor in the storm

#14 of 31 False Hope?

What if hope is false? What is with great expectations comes great disappointments?

What if indeed?

Surely there is an end and (my) expectancy shall not be cut off.  I live in faith for my soul waits upon God, and my expectation is from Him.  (Proverbs 23 verse 18 and Psalm 6 verse 25)

He is my hope, my anchor in the storm, therefore I can trust in Him.

This is true Hope without falsehood.

Yet To Be # 47

the dead cannot hope

#13 of 31 The Dead & Hope

Dead men cannot hope. Hope is for the living not the dead.

For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope,

For a living dog is better than a dead lion.

For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not any thing,

Neither have they any more reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Also their love, and their hatred and their envy is now perished; neither have they any more portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.  Ecclesiastes 9 verse 4
