Hope is…
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1
HOPE! Of all the ills that men endure, is the only cheap and universal cure. It is the last thing ever lost, and it is putting faith to work when doubting would be easier. Hope is the major weapon against the suicide impulse. It is a much stronger stimulant of life than any realized hoy could be. Hope is faith holding our hand in the dark, and it is grief’s best music.
Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers. Hope is the word God has written on the brow of every man. Hope is a smile on God’s face.
