God is an idealist:
Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act
unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,
does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
This is what love does, and since God is love (1 John 4:8), this is what God does. God hopes all things. God wins in the end, so why shouldn't He hope all things? His victory is assured, and ours can be, too. And if we will rise with Him, why shouldn't we also be filled with hope?
"I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he
has given to those he called--his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance."
Ephesians 1:18 MSG
God's Word says that His people are destined for a rich and glorious inheritance. And we can walk in a measure of that glory now, and then move on to fullness. There is nothing more hope-inspiring than that!
God has so many promises for those who love Him. He has so many blessings stored up for those who live by His Spirit. He has so many good things to give. He is waiting to bless you! Not that you have not been blessed yet, but there is always more to God. He is for us unsearchable riches. (Ephesians 3:8) He is to us incomprehensible love. (Romans 11:33) It's time to get a fresh anointing. It's time to walk in our blessings. It's time to live life to the fullest. It's time for Christ in us to shine through. It's time to yield to the Father's unending hope.
"To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the
Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory"
Colossians 1:27
