Unapohitaji tumaini

Aya za leo

“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” — Romans 15:13 (KJV)

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” — Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV)

“Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;” — Hebrews 6:19 (KJV)

Kwa maneno rahisi

Tumaini hapa si «tumaini la bahati nasibu»: ni Mungu wa tumaini anayejaza furaha na amani katika kuamini, kwa nguvu ya Roho Mtakatifu.

Leo kinachokushikilia

Siku hii haina lazima iwe kamili kwanza. Mistari hii bado inasema Mungu yupo pamoja nawe — hata hisia zikiwa hazijasimama. Soma mistari tena kwa dakika moja kwa utulivu; pumua polepole mara tatu.

Neno jepesi

Si matumaini la uongo. Warumi 5:5 inasema tumaini hili halituangushi — linasimama wakati maisha yanapotikisa.

Kwa nini tumaini hili linasimama

Tumaini la Biblia limejikita katika Mungu, si katika siku yako pekee wala hisia za papo hapo. Ahadi ina Jina la kuaminika — unaweza kutenganisha hofu ya kesho na ukweli wa yeye aliye yeye. Roho Mtakatifu anapofanya imara, huishi bila kubeba peke yako uzito wa kuthibitisha kuwa kila siku itakuwa nzuri au kuwa wewe «umetosha» kwa nguvu zako.

Fanya sasa

Sema kwa sauti ya chini: «Bwana, ninashika ahadi yako, si hisia zangu.» Kisha pumua polepole mara tatu. Huna haja ya kulazimisha furaha — kumgeukia kwa dakika moja kunatosha.
