If a life loses its element of hope it becomes hopelessly impossible to live.
Hope is a feeling of expectation and a desire for a particular thing to happen.
It is a vital element for living day to day. It is a steering force that keeps a man going even in the face of difficulties. Without hope, living becomes a serious drag and a burden.
We carry with us, daily, a hope that things will get better, difficult times will pass, new seasons and new relationships will be born and a beautiful future will be birthed.
Life can be tough and challenging. We win some battles and lose some.
Sometimes along the way, we lose hope. No doubt, we are humans.
The amount of time you spend in this hopeless zone is critical. You need to bounce back to the hopeful side as soon as possible.
The Psalmist David said, ‘why are you so downcast oh my soul, put your hope in God’.
Many persons who were high fliers lost their cutting edge when their hope was lost and not regained on time.
Hope is like oxygen to a man. You need to take it in daily. Yes, daily and timely.
Look on the bright side of life. Pray to the God who still changes times and seasons. Remember how He had come through for you in the past and be hopeful for tomorrow. Connect with hopeful, optimistic people and learn from them.
A student will study hard in order to graduate with a good grade. He is hoping to have a bright future. If he loses hope along the way, reading and concentration becomes difficult if not impossible.
A business man will work hard to build his business. He hopes that someday he will own a successful business empire. What is the use of working if there is no hope of success?
Many have become depressed, sick, unhappy and unhealthy when their element of hope left.
You can re- ignite that hope. You can revisit that long forgotten dream. It is still possible to make it come through.
Some persons bounce back so easily while some take a long while. What helps you bounce back to the hopeful side of life?
You may be helping someone, somewhere.
