What is your hope?

This daily motivation from Fuyumi Soryo made me think about the concept of forever and what that means for me.

There are times I say things like, “this will go on forever” or “this feeling will never go away.” But in my heart, I know that things don’t last forever. Our lives here on this earth will one day end. Our circumstances will one day end one way or another.

I personally think that forever is my eternal destination that I can look forward to obtaining the peace and love that I may or may not be able to obtain in this physical lifetime.

I know many times I ask the question, “when is this ever going to end?” The hard possibility is that it won’t ever end in this lifetime on earth.

My therapist has JRA (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis) and lives with constant pain every day, and as a child she didn’t receive medical attention for it, resulting in her having to have over 80 surgeries in her adult life.

I don’t know how she does it. That would completely destroy me. But I know and believe that even if she doesn’t get relief in her life on earth, that her eternal destination is eternal freedom and healing.

My precious moments Bible has a picture of a little girl standing outside the gate of heaven with a tear and a sad face and it says “no tears in heaven.”

Because I believe that all our pain on earth will go away in heaven. All our physical, emotional, and mental pain will be gone.

So this dose of motivation spoke to me. I told me nothing will go on forever in our physical life, but our spiritual life will go on forever. That’s something that brings me hope, does it you?
