WHAT IS HOPE?
Some call it optimism. – magic hope and realistic hope. Magic hope is sheep optimism. – tomorrow everything will be alright. – with the passage of time – everything will automatically become better. Change is not always good.
OPTIMISM IS NOT GENUINE HOPE.
REALISTIC HOPE: REALISTIC HOPE IS BASED ON THE WILLINGNESS TO FACE THE RISK OF FAILURE AND EMBRACE A COURSE OF ACTION WITH AN DETERMINED QUALITY –
THE HYMN SAYS WE SHALL OVER COME.
What is hoed for is already present.
With endurance it will be fulfilled
If you hope FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE – then know that you already have the power to work for peace.
It is with that hope of peace that you have the endurance and the strength to make it a reality.

HOPE HAS A WE QUALITY.
Hope IS NEVER SELFISH.
Hope always has someone else in mind.
Hope is CONTAGIOUS.
HOPE is so closely related to its sister LOVE. When we truly hope we hope for someone else not just ourselves.
THAT IS WHY THE SONG SAYS – WE SHALL OVER COME. IT IS MORE THAN A DESIRE.
Hope for those who have lost hope who are living in despair.
HOPE IS NECESSARY FOR LIFE:
Looks Beyond Today
