We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It’s an unbreakable spiritual lifeline. (Hebrews 6:18–19 The Message)


The hope and promise of the restoration of all things has been planted in your heart — whether you are aware of it or not. It is the only hope strong enough, brilliant enough, glorious enough to overcome the heartache of this world.


One morning you will wake, and sunlight will be coming in through the curtains. You will hear the sound of birds singing in the garden; delicious scents of summer will waft in on the breeze. As you open your eyes you realize your body feels young and whole. No tormenting thoughts will rush in to assault you; you realize that your soul feels young and whole too. As you sit up to look around the bedroom filled with light, you hear the sounds of laughter and running water outside and you will know — it is going to be a wonderful day.


Only this hope can serve as the anchor for your soul. The renewal of all things, including you, is the only hope strong enough, brilliant enough, glorious enough to overcome the heartache of this world.

So chase it now with all of your being.
