Amidst the up and down of life, there is always this hope for the better. Such hope is usually set on something. It may be a cause or an individual, that will take away the sorrows and set things right.

Some are hoping for a new government. Every four or eight years, if within their power, they will vote out the existing leader and put their hope on a new one. Looking forward to a turnaround of things and a better life, they believe they have made the right choice.

Another set of people put their trust in religion. More like a soul search that would have brought the desired result, but in many cases twisted to the pacifying of the leader. They assume they are pleasing God by following such teachings of man. Some go the extra mile in the pursuit of the cause laid down by these preachers.

Others heap their hope on certain individuals whom they look upon. Whether their dream spouse, a rich uncle or a friend, they believe this individual will intervene in their plight and rescue them. They try all in their power to get closer to this person.

No matter which way, every living soul needs hope to survive. Whether they are yearning for another brother, Moses, who will lead them pass the Red Sea, or hoping on system and cause that will alleviate their condition, or hoping on some teachings of religious; the reality is that none of these bring the desired expectation and seal it permanent. If ever met, it hangs on one leg, with fear of losing it. If it is not yet met, it ends up in a cycle of deferred hope.

The good news is that the expectation that we are looking for, is already with us. The government we are looking up is already set up. The Moses, we are waiting for, has already come. He is asking us to open our eyes of understanding. He wants to let us know that for more than 2,000 years now, He has been calling on whoever will listen to join the boat of life. The perfect peace we cherish is already with us.

If only you can sincerely open your heart and seek Him, only then will you have the experience. And you will seek no more.
