Hope a word and emotional state that few are familiar with, I am not sure why but people seem to lose hope so easily. It is almost like at the first sign of trouble people begin to fear then they give up.
I use to have so little hope in mankind it seemed everywhere I looked; someone was committing a crime, or only serving him or herself. But then I realized my lack of faith was causing me to lose hope in mankind.
When I was going through this I found a scripture in the bible that helped me learn my very first easy lesson.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Just by reading this I realized even though I might not see a lot of good being done by people, there are still people out there that are doing good.
I learned that I have to have hope in the things I can’t see, and have faith that there are good people in the world.
Do you know why hope is so important?
Well without hope there would be chaos, hope is what keeps people alive even when life seems unbearable. Hope is what allows people to tell themselves everything will be all right.
How many times have you reached the end of your rope, like when work is so stressful due to a co-worker or even due to your boss? So stressed to the point that you just wished your life was over. But then you could see a slight glimmer of hope, either you could just feel it or someone told you everything will be okay.
Or for the younger people have you ever felt like things were so tuff in school, like if you’re picked on. Or if your schoolwork is just too hard and your afraid to ask for help I imagine some of you have even wished you were dead. Then suddenly you see a glimmer of hope over the horizon and everything is okay.
See in life you need to have hope whether it is hope that there are good people in the world. Or hope that everything will be okay.
