Hope…..
A feeling of expectation and desire for certain things to happen….
A feeling of trust…..
Wanting something to happen before it does sometimes even without patience….
To cherish a desire with anticipation that sometimes can’t even be described….a longing for something that the soul is searching for.
Hope is an act of the will…
When one has hope….they are yearning for an outcome that can make their life better in some way. To improve their lives in one way or another.
The anchor is a Christian symbol of hope and steadfastness. This symbol is Hebrews 6:19, “Which hope we have as an anchor for the soul, both sure and steadfast.”
Hope….a belief that things will work out, even when the situation seems otherwise. Prayers of hope to oneself will have a calming and peaceful effect when something can emerge that is less desired.
Hope….when teamed with Faith…..helps to believe in the impossible.
Faith…complete trust or confidence in someone or something….
Faith…strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.
How should you have faith you ask…..follow these simple rules.
- Pray throughout your day…..the tiniest of prayers are heard just as much as any other prayer.
- Listen to positive or uplifting music…..it’s great fuel for the soul.
- Allow yourself 10-15 minutes of alone time…..this allows you to gather your thoughts…..and simply reflect.
- Read from your bible.
- Read a devotional quote….for some…this adds comfort when they are unable to read from their bible.
- Reach out to friends that share your same beliefs…..this is extremely rewarding for both parties.
- Write down your innermost thoughts….this is so helpful because you are always able to reflect on what matters to you most.
- Choose joy in your life…..certain situations and circumstances can really weigh us down…but keeping positive and choosing joy is what keeps us all motivated.
Love.…such a small word that packs such a BIG punch….this little word carries so many meanings.
- a strong affection for another person arising out of kinship or personal ties. “Maternal love for a child”
- attraction based on a sexual desire… affection and tenderness felt by others. “After all of these years…they are still very much in love.”
- affection based on admiration, benevolence, or commence interests. “Love for old classmates”
- to hold dear…to cherish.
- an undeniable connection where words alone cannot describe.
- commitment and compassion.
Dreams….
Stories and images that our minds create while we are sleeping. They can range from…funny, scary, disturbing, sensual, romantic, and even strange. We cannot choose what we dream about when we sleep…nope…we just dream.
Researchers have found that adults and babies alike dream every night for about two hours per night. With each dream lasting anywhere from five to twenty minutes.
Lucid dreaming…is a phenomenon that has been well documented over the past several centuries. It’s a term that is used to describe the act of dreaming while being aware that you are dreaming. In other words….dreams that feel like they are very real.
For some…dreams are merely the reality of what the heart really hopes for.
Hope…Faith…Love…Dreams…
It’s in our DNA…all of which go hand-in-hand really…because every day of our lives…we have high hopes while keeping the faith that the love of our dreams will one day come true.
The way of the world is already so hard at times….power in prayer…leaning on your faith…hoping for the best…and above all…allow your dreams…to one day become your reality.
It’s what makes the world go ’round.
