Faith + Anticipation = Hope

Feeling hopeless can be really frustrating especially when life seems not going right. Hopeless people are most of the time pessimist about life because that is their perspective. They see the problem not the solution. Life is beautiful. Though hardships and trials come, it's a matter of how you look at things. Remember the success story of Adidas? The sales man saw the need of shoes in Africa that's why he was able to sell those shoes.

As a Christian, God wants me to enjoy life but not to enjoy too much that I will become so comfortable here on earth. He promised me a better place to live in and, by faith, I have to hold on to it with anticipation. To put it in layman's term, it's like leaving your old job and moving on to a new company with better opportunities. Your last thirty days may seem very long because you can't wait to leave and start a fresh career. In the middle of the thirty days, you may experience a whole lot of problems, trials and bigger responsibilities that you may not understand but the anticipation for your new job will keep you going.

Just like in life, you may experience hurts, temptations and waiting may become a frustration but having that hope God gave you, these things will not be as bad anymore. Because, you know that there will always be a light at the end of the tunnel.
