It’s Okay to Think About Your Hope

A certain quote from St. Francis de Sales caught my attention one day. It isn’t because I have encountered the thought for the first time. But there are times when you just realize something in a whole new way, in a deeper way.

Here is the quote:

“To live contentedly in our exile, we must keep before our eyes the hope of our arrival in the country where we shall live for ever.” – St. Francis de Sales

The above quote reminded me that it’s okay to inspire ourselves every day, to remind ourselves of the wonderful hope that we have as Christians. Being a Christian isn’t all about suffering. It is above all, being joyful for the love of God.

Without reminding ourselves of the hope that we have, we can easily grow weary. We may even lose our way in our spiritual journey.

It isn’t wrong to fill our hearts and minds with beautiful things, good things that remind us of heaven. To hope is to strengthen our faith. To have faith is to keep on believing in God’s wonderful love for al of us.
