Reflection:
This verse tells me/ you that as long as we have hope, we will not be disappointed because God has poured his love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. It is not our work, but God through the Holy Spirit. I/you then should believe that God’s love is in our hearts and that is why we can still hope for the best. Hope that God will give us a second chance if we fail. If we fail to trust him if we doubt or sin. Or if this world is hopeless.
We were a hopeless case once, but God transformed our lives and He had given us new hope. New life and the promise of eternal life.
We were redeemed from our past by God, so we can count on Him with our present and our future. It includes our current situations or any problems that might come tomorrow.
God is unlimited and although there are countless emergencies everywhere, He can still hear our cries of help. He can infuse us with strength and power so that His purpose in our lives will be accomplished. He promised in Psalm 29:11 that He gives strength to His people and blesses them with peace. And in 2. Timothy 1:7 He said that He has given us power, love, and self-discipline
