Hope does not mean to leave everything to God. We should steer away from company that crush our confidence for faithlessness is the worst possible state of being.
I am reminded of a story from the Gospels that talks about the house built on sand and fell down when the rains and storms set in. This is juxtaposed against a house built on rock that survived the winds and the rains. The house built on sand is a symbol of all those who put their faith in the wrong place and in the wrong people. The house built on rock is a symbol of those who have true hope and place their ultimate trust in God rather than human beings.
While there will always be much disappointment, there is also much to be happy about. The God of Hope never lets us down. To the faithful, He offers hope of resting in Him. Every sunrise, sunset and changing of seasons, the tides of the sea and history - are all lessons in hope. Keep on hoping, through every circumstance, doubt and calamity.
A very gross 45 minutes on the stairs this am - mid 40's yet again where I am!!! 60 seconds of wall sits.
