Our Hope
Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. Luke 6:21
There is a hunger in our hearts for the things of God. For righteousness and holiness to be closer to God. We fill empty because our longing is for a better place, a heavenly place (Hebrews 11:16).
Someone said the other day, “even a silk-lined sewer still smells” – this describes our present world, a world seething in continual dismay and moral decay…
Sometimes we weep because of the wretchedness… because our soul thirsts to be at the banquet table with our Lord and Savior. We long to hear him laugh, to gaze into his eyes, and to hear him speak our names.
Our desire is to laugh without boundaries, to love without measure, and to heal from this world’s afflictions on our souls.
Our hope is in heaven. That’s why we are consumed with the hearing of His Word and of hearing about Him. That’s why our hearts burn within us and we count our loss in this world as no loss.
We hunger to be filled with the righteousness and goodness only found in Christ Jesus! Each day we travel is another day we are closer to the Lords coming and to a day when weeping will be no more… but laughter will be our reward.
