Though you have not seen Him

I have such a great hope. It is the very hope that helps me to endure trouble, to battle against stress, and to live with joy instead of depression.

My hope is in Christ, Whom I have not seen.

I have not seen Him, but I love Him.

When I think of all He has done for me, all He has transferred to me, all He has died for in my name and for my sake, I cannot help but love Him.

Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John 20:29 ESV)

Blessed are those. Blessed are those. We walk by faith, not by sight. We hope in the promises of Christ Jesus. We believe in Him and rejoice in His name. We live and rest and delight in abiding in Christ, echoing John in his utterance: Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

He is the Master and King of creation,
Gathering people from every nation
Redeeming them by His own shed blood
Overpowering sin with a gracious flood
Of forgiveness and peace, of mercy and love
Coming down from the Father of Lights up above.
There is no other being remotely above Him
And though I have not yet seen Him, I love Him.
