Hope gives a joyful anticipation and expectation for our near and distant futures. It gives us a peace about the future and paints a picture of things to come. Our hearts might experience setbacks and knock backs for a time but having something to look forward to holds our heart together. It prevents it from failing us.
Hope gives a feeling of expectation and a desire for something special to happen, this week, next month or next year. Hope is the fruit of planning. If we fail to plan to plan to fail. Looking forward to an event or occasion keeps our hearts hopeful, holding them together.
