The real definition of hope is it’s an earnest expectation of good. ~ David S

Hope doesn’t mean wanting a result
but demanding to continue the behavior
causing the undesired present.
Hope isn’t a wish list, awaiting God’s checks.
No person is your last hope.
Hope resides in the hear and now,
not in tomorrow or years to come.
Hope is not wishes that reality change,
not idle longing. Hope cannot be abandoned
when events play out other than our plans.
Hope stands in living, in being, in loving
and changes only the person in whose soul
God’s goodness and our recognition of this truth
is all the hope we could ever need.
