You can be filled with hope knowing that one day your pain and paralysis will be gone. Everything will be okay.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And Rachel asked me on Instagram:“Joni, how do you have hope when you don’t feel it?” You know it’s true because most people talk about hope as though it were a wishful feeling. They connect it to a feeling. But biblical hope is different. It is the assurance that, in the end, everything will be okay. But that’s not based on your life getting better, or your pain going away, or your circumstances improving. Christian hope is based on the Blessed Hope, Jesus Christ [that’s how He’s referred to in Titus 2]. In the end, Jesus is the only one who one day close the curtain on suffering. And that is when everything will be okay. And that is why you can be filled with hope: I know that one day my pain and paralysis will be gone; one day everything will be okay. So, join me in holding on to Jesus in your pain, and feel the joy of knowing the blessed hope.
