waiting… hope unseen

But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

Romans 8:25

I face these circumstances now.

What do they mean?

My soul asks deep questions as

my hope is unseen.

You are my salvation.

You make me clean.

I stand in Christ now forgiven as

my hope is unseen.

I groan inwardly as I wait

from sin’s curse now freed

waiting for final adoption

while my hope is unseen.

I trust Your Word even

if I have never yet been

at the end of my journey

trusting Your hope that’s unseen.

Hope that is possessed

becomes something that is seen.

Hope that I wait for

is real hope still unseen.

Waiting then requires patience.

You always say what You mean.

You promise to take me to future glory

while now hope is unseen.

So with patience I will stand here.

On Jesus I will lean.

His promise is ever with me.

I believe hope that’s unseen.
