I'd like to spend the first couple of weeks of May with some thoughts on the subject of Hope and then the last couple of weeks talking about relating one to another. Hope is one of the three essential elements in our relationship with God. 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV) - "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." Surrounded by faith and love, hope must be nurtured and kept in our hearts. Let's begin by defining hope. Hope means: to anticipate, to long for, fervent desire, to look forward, to have confident expectation. It is similar to faith and reaches forward to embrace God's promises and His goodness. We cannot live without hope. Hope gives us the motivation to keep on moving forward in anticipation of something better. We will be examining several Bible verses that will unfold for us the beauty of hope.
