       Recall the Apostle Paul talked about faith, hope, and love at the end of 1 Corinthians chapter 13. These are the three greatest attitudes we should have in this life. As Paul told the Galatians, “For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness” (Galatians 5:5, ESV). And our hope, by the Spirit, is not just for Heavenly things in the future, or to see Jesus, but this hope also includes good things in the here and now. It includes successes in this life, both for the kingdom of God and for personal successes. God does want to bless our lives. The problem is that we often don’t think that he really does, and therefore, he is unable to give us the desires of our hearts because of our, again, unbelief.
