HOPE

Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life.

Hope implies a certain amount of despair, wanting, wishing, suffering or perseverance

Believing that a better or positive outcome is possible

even when there is some evidence to the contrary.



* This is one of my favorite pictures in my home. It is Titled "Delicate Balance" by Greg Olsen. The scripture that is mounted with it states this.

I know the plans I have for you...plans to give you hope and a future. -Jeremiah 24:11

My friend is giving a talk on Hope next week . We briefly started to discuss how little we really know about the true meaning of hope. It has much more spiritual relevance than I ever thought. It make more sense now when I hear

Faith, Hope, and Charity...with out these...
