The world looks at hope as wishful thinking, unrealistic or a daydream.  The biblical definition of hope seems to be more like a confidence and belief in what God has promised and trust in His faithfulness.  We may not ever fully understand or be able to comprehend things while we are here, yet with hope, provided by Jesus Christ we know that anything is possible.  Be patient, be persistent, keep doing good things and believe with hope that comes only from God.  Amen.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Jeremiah 29:11
