H*O*P*E


4 Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God.

(Book of Mormon | Ether 12:4)

I love the concept of HOPE. Not the wispy version that is simply glorified wishing, but the kind with substance and power. Hope based on faith. Faith based on Christ. Hope is an anchor to our souls and keeps us from being blow hither and yon by adversity and trial. Hope in the sureness of God's promises, that there will be a better day ahead, keeps us steadfast and from despair.

Have you noticed that no matter how difficult or wrenching a situation is, with time it always gets better in some way. There is HOPE for the future.
