What is hope?

We hope for different things at different times in our lives. Children hope to be able to go out to play! Young people hope to get into a good college; get an exciting job; get married and have children. Older people hope that their marriage will last; that they stay healthy; that they will be able to retire; that their children will have good lives. We all hope to see our relatives again; that we will be able to go on a vacation; that we will be happy; that we will live a long life; that we can live forever. Hope is one of God’s principle graces. It goes right along with faith and love. These are the three principles that the Bible says will last forever ? faith, hope, and love. Hope looks to future happiness and waits for it.

Hope for me is being able to see the silver lining behind the clouds..the feeling or the conviction you have inside you that despite of all the problems or hardships you're encountering now, there's still something good waiting for you..Hope gives us the courage to fight for something with unknown or uncertain results..it helps us to believe that life is really a good one..

Hope is the desire of something together with the expectation of obtaining it! It is a movement of appeitte towards a future good, which though hard to attain is possible of attainment. Hope is a truth constantly acted upon in life and is necessary as an indispensible means to attain the goal! There is both a negative and a positive precept of hope.The negative aspect of hope is that no one can lawfully presume that what ever we hope is achieved. The passitive aspect is the drive one gets to achieve the goal.
