Topic: Hope And God's Unfailing Love

Psalm 33:22 "May your unfailing love rest upon us, O lord, even as we put our hope in you." (NIV)

For many people who have run out of hope because of their suffering, the idea of God's unfailing love can be mumbo jumbo. For many people with no hope, God's unfailing love may not make sense. Perhaps God's unfailing love doesn't make sense on the surface, but look at God's unfailing love in the following way. If you were in a totally dark room for the first time and had no idea about the room's contents, you wouldn't know what was in the room. If you had been in the room with the light turned on and could see the contents of the room, you would know what the room contained even if the room then went dark. The same principle holds true about our faith in God. Although we can go through real disasters of darkness in our life, we have seen the Light and we know God because God is the Light. In the darkness of suffering, we have God's Light burning within us. In the darkness of suffering, we have a spiritual power to see in the darkness. In the darkness of our suffering, with Christ, we know what is in our life and we can see our way through the darkness because of Him. Although every corner of our life might seem to be dark because of our suffering, the Light of Christ penetrates every darkness no matter how deep.
