#2 of 31 Hope Defined

Dictionary definition states, hope is to cherish a desire with anticipation : to want something to happen or be true. (Merriam-Webster)
Having hope is to be expectant, to have confidence and certainty.
It is the light at the end of a long and dark tunnel.
Despair has no power to grow or even to exist, when hope shines eternal.
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death neither sorrow, nor shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away” Revelation 21 verse 4

This is beautiful. I remember, when I was younger I looked in the dictionary for “don’t despare”. This is in a song I learnt in Sunday School. The word despare means “give up hope”. To this day I’ve not forgotten it. Thank you for the encouragement.
