I know there are many in the world who have not been so blessed. Some have a deep desire in their heart for things that may never come – a loving spouse, children, or many other things. What must be remembered is that even if none of the earthly things we long for come to pass, our hope remains. The reason our hope remains is because our hope is not of this world!
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever. (Psalm 73:25-26)
Because I’ve been given more on this earth than I could have ever imagined, you may say I’m not qualified to speak to those who have less. I would agree, if we were talking of earthly things… but we are talking about things beyond this life.
God is our portion. The very Creator – the King of everything. We can all - regardless of our status on this earth – be called children of God. We may go through terrible things in this life; we may not get the things we hope for; or we may get much more than we deserve. Regardless, our hope remains in our coming and victorious King, and not the failing world.
