HOPE FOR WHAT YOU DO NOT SEE; EAGERLY wait for it with perseverance. Among the five senses, sight is often the one that people value the most. I created the world gloriously beautiful and I want you to appreciate beauty when you see it. However, even more beneficial than sight is hope, which is itself a kind of vision. It enables you to see - through the eyes of your heart - things that are not yet. The most stunning example of this is the hope of heaven. Your ultimate destiny is to share in My Glory! This is My promise to you, secured through My finished work on the cross and My resurrection.
Practice hoping for things you do not see - both for this life and the next. Ask Me to guide you into hopes and dreams that are in line with My will. Train the eyes of your heart to "see" these blessings, while praying for My will to be done fully and only. Discipline yourself to wait eagerly -- with your focus on Me and the longed-for outcome. Remain hopeful and expectant as you wait with perseverance.
