HOPE is the very essence of faith.  It’s the foundation on which we, as believers, live, move and breathe.  Without hope people begin to exist from day-to-day.  A person who has reduced his or her life to just living isn’t a happy person by any stretch of the imagination.  There’s nothing new happening in their life, the possibilities of better have diminished. The person who is existing and not living is dying slowly within and it won’t be long before the physical death occurs.

Hope is the inspiration that makes one believe and act on the belief, that he or she can have and do better than his or her’s current situation.  Hope means having not only an idea that there’s more to come but that idea leads to strategic planning and implementation of the new ideas, thoughts and concepts.  Eventually that means a better lifestyle.  Instead of pretending to be happy, it’s something one can actually do and become.  Instead of doing what others do for happiness it means developing one’s own thoughts and acting upon them.  Hope breeds life.

We are never without hope.  Hope is abundant, it lives within each of us on a daily basis.  However there is never hope without opposition and negativity.  Hope has to be tapped into.  One must actively engage and tap into the power and promise of hope.  Wake up looking for the best, looking for positive thoughts and ideas, reinforce life by speaking it over yourself, your family and your day.  Expand your horizons, your circles of acquaintances and expand your thinking through exposure.  It’s natural to believe that a way of life is limited to the circle in which one interacts.  One will assume that everyone thinks, behaves just like those in his or her immediate surroundings.  Surrounded by people who think the same and behave the same lives one in the same state of mind, body and spirit.  The expansion of your mind by expanding your circles will provide thoughts and opportunities one didn’t know was possible.

HOPE is abundant but it will not come without opposition and it will require action on the part of the seeker to achieve and receive it.  Regardless of your current situation know that you are never without hope.  There is always a way out and a way up.  There is always hope.
