Hope makes us Joyful!

Hope makes us Joyful!

 

Our Hope, becoming mature even in tough times, makes us Joyful all the times. Our Hope is to become mature and complete so that God might bless us.

 

Your Hope to become mature and complete makes all the difference in the world, and it influences how you respond to any kind of problems you meet.

 

Christians can rejoice even in the tough times because we have Hope and we know that God is working in our lives. We also rejoice in our suffering, because we know that suffering produces Perseverance (Romans 5:3, NIV). Perseverance produces Character and Character produces Hope. Problems are designed to increase our Hope, instead of destroying it.

 

Problems have a purpose. Your trials and difficulties have value for your Perseverance and Character and Hope.

 

Perseverance, Character and Hope are produced in us only when we choose the right attitude. And what is the right attitude? Joy is the right attitude. When we learn to rejoice in the problem, then God uses it for good in our lives.

 

James said "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you faces trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops Perseverance" (James 1:2-3, NIV). James continues, Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. This maturity is the Hope.
