Hope is powerful. To hope, according to Merriam-Webster, means to cherish a desire with anticipation. As Christians, we anticipate eternal life with Jesus, knowing we’ll one day be with him. No matter what tomorrow brings, we have hope that lasts in Jesus.
Being confident in the love of God fuels this hope in us. After all, he’s in control and has good things in store for all of us now and for eternity! The Bible verses about hope found here solidify this truth.
