[The Glory Unveiled]
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. [ Romans 5:5 NIV ]
Hope is essential if we are ever going to arrive at our destination. It is the fuel that keeps the journey moving. Just as no one expects a broken vehicle to reach its goal, no one can live effectively without a working hope. We need a hope that functions—and more importantly, a hope that does not disappoint. Hope disappoints when it is fastened to what is fleeting. Many have set their expectations on promises, people, or possibilities that never came to pass. When the foundation of hope is weak, disappointment is inevitable. Hope is only as strong as what supports it. But hope anchored in God does not disappoint. When hope is tethered to the love of God, it stands firm. This love is not distant or theoretical—it has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. That is the unique strength of the believer’s hope: it is enforced by divine love and sustained by divine presence. It is the Holy Spirit at work in us, both to will and to do according to God’s good pleasure. He aligns our desires with God’s purposes and draws the substance of our hope into view. What once seemed impossible begins to yield, because with God all things are possible. Therefore, the believer does not hope blindly. Our hope is anchored in the unchanging nature of God—His ability, His faithfulness, and His love. And if God cannot fail in these things, then our hope, secured in Him, will never disappoint.
