Pre-requisite to Abounding in Hope

Romans 15:13


Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Pre-requisite to living a life with abounding hope is to be
filled with *ALL* joy and peace in believing God. This is not about just "attaining" hope here and there but being soaked in
hope at all times.

God has no problems of supplying the hope to me, because He is God of hope. But
unless my heart is not filled with nothing but joy and peace in God, I won't abound
in hope and without such hope, my faith will lose its strength because that means
I have not received the power of the Holy Spirit in me.

Hmm, the J/P guage is nearing that 'E' position again -- it's time to go "fill her up!"
