Hope doesn’t mean you’re never depressed.  Or that you’re always feeling energized.  Hope isn’t even about being in a good mood. 

It’s about knowing there is more to this life than just this world.  It’s about knowing we are loved by God, and that there is something for us beyond our lives here on Earth.

So often I confuse the word “hope” with the word “easy.”  I think that just because God tells us to have hope in him, that it somehow translates to no problems.  To be honest, the more your hope is placed in God, the crazier your life gets.  Because when you start believing in him, he starts giving you these revolutionary plans.  Plans that will change the world.

Hope is trusting that God’s promises are real, and that he’s there when he says he is. 

Hope is the only way I know how to get through life.
