“And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” - Romans 5:5
Other faith traditions describe this same experience with different words. When we allow the presence of what we Christians describe as the Holy Spirit to flow in and through us we are sustained and enlivened with a hope that defies our external circumstances.
Even if we have been beaten down and crushed by external circumstances, even if we find ourselves in hell, hell doesn’t have the final word. Not even the grave can stop the force of our hope.
The writer of these words had been beaten, arrested, jailed and imprisoned. He would go on to be executed. The fact that he did not write these words from a place of comfort or ease gives testimony to their power.
The power of the Holy Spirit is the power of love itself and that power flows in and through us. It gives us hope from the inside out.
