Isn't it an interesting thing...ah time. Today I have studied hope. Why is it so important to hope. I think is a motivator. Under the most dire of circumstances we must not give up hope. Why? Because it is a absolute motivator that creates optimism and enthusiasm and leads to faith. As we use our agency we are able to move forward in faith.
What is there to hope for?
Enteral Life, Salvation, Happiness, and the ability to become like God. Who am I? Someone who can become a queen and priestess, that is a reason to hope.
Why is there a reason to hope?
Because God love his children and wants us to be happy and because Christ died for us we have the atonement and that is the ultimate hope.
So hope not only requires optimism and enthusiasm is also requires patient perseverance. This brought me to time. Oh how is changes things... though it may seem hard to "wait" wait cheerfully, with purpose, and while moving forward. We all daily need to be progressing not standing still.. We must move forward with "a perfect brightness of hope." We will progress and in time lasting change will come.
I am grateful for time as it has healed my wounds, though a waiting period by seem difficult usually it is worth it. Today I realize often time can give us a chance to respond more lovingly rather than lashing out in the moment. It can provide empathy and patience. May I be comfortable in waiting, moving forward? Yes. Though I am not sure of God's total plan for me, I will move forward and be patient in receiving answers. May I also give others my time, to listen, to empathize, and to be patient with all around me.
Grateful for time, so let me have hope during the passing time, to move forward and love others to
