“Hope” is the third element that God builds in us through tribulation. Instead of occasionally glancing forward, our hope enables us to know why we are who we are and we know where we are going. ~ Wilson, Ralph F.. Christ Powered Life: Discipleship Lessons from Romans 5-8 (JesusWalk Bible Study Series) (p. 16). JesusWalk Publications. Kindle Edition.
