Turning experience into hope

So, my ponderize scripture about a month or so ago was Romans 8:3-5. I
chose it because I wanted to learn how to turn experience into hope.
Because, if experience is supposed to equal hope, I figured that I was
doing it wrong.

I've come to the conclusion that hope, like faith, needs to be centered in 

something. It needs something to be attached to to actually mean anything. 

As we hope in something constant, we will see the rewards of that hope. 

As we hope in something changeable, our hope grows weak.

Hope in investigators is weak. Hope in yourself is weak. Not because
you shouldn't hope in yourself, but you will have bad days, and you
will feel down, and your investigators won't keep all their commitments.

That's fine. That's a part of life. But as we place our hope in something 

higher, it cannot be dragged down by the tempest of the adversary. As 

we hope in Christ and his light and his unchanging love, we will, like 

Peter, be buffeted by the waves and the wind, but, so long as we keep 

our eyes on Him, we will not--cannot--fall. And thus, experience turns 

into hope.

I invite you all to fix your hope in Christ this week.

Love, Sanzu
