HopeJune 17, 1986Copyright © 1997 Property of Deborah K. Fletcher. All rights reserved.Hope is an intangible force in the lives of men and women which helps them to face the uncertainties of the present. It is the future existing in the present. Hope is the dove of peace that sings in our hearts. It is that which controls the lives of men. It gives a steady foundation on which to build the future. Without hope, there is nothing. Hope is a happy glimpse into the things of God. It is a breath of Heaven and a draught of heavenly pleasure. With hope in one's heart, one may accomplish anything. Hope knows no bounds. If one hopes, one may reach places on high which the hopeless seldome reach. The child, seeing something which touches his heart, can have hope, for children are innocent and trusting and can be filled with true hope for the future. Hope is a confidence in, and reliance on, the good of man to improve the world that he has been given. Such hopeful confidence often leads one to try to change the evils of the world to goodness. Hope is everlasting and, like love, it "endureth all things and believeth all things." Please View and Sign My Guestbook
