Hope of Heaven

Romans 5: 1-5
1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Hope of Heaven~
You are my heart’s desire! I’m thankful for the perfect gift of peace You placed in my heart the moment I first believed. Accepting it placed me in a position of privilege to come into Your holy presence where mercy and grace abound. I love You, believe in You, and am filled with Your inexpressible and glorious joy!

Hidden within the gift of peace is the precious Jewel of Jesus, my Hope of Heaven. My eyes glisten as I gaze upon Your radiant glory. Through the lustrous allure, I see the brilliance of Heaven coming down from Your heart to mine. Shining brighter than the summer sun on my soul, I’m thrilled with the inconceivable gift You’ve placed on the platform of my heart.

With the Hope of Heaven in my heart, I can cheerfully embrace problems and persist through suffering. Difficulties will purify and perfect my personality, allowing me to gracefully show Your divine love to a watching world. No matter how busy, frustrated, or tired I am this holiday season, please help me to keep smiling and respond with patience and kindness.

Let the Hope of Heaven spill from my heart as I magnificently display the precious jewels of Your character this Christmas. When others see the Hope of Heaven sparkling in me, they’ll experience the true Spirit of Christmas and Christ will be magnified, exalted, and honored above all. Amen.

What a priceless gift! How will you display the Hope of Heaven this Christmas?

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. - Romans 15:13
