It is hard to define the meaning of Hope. It is elusive, and an action with little reason or justification.
We all have known the feeling of hope – we wish for it many times in life. We wish the newlyweds hope for a happy life. We bless a newborn with our hopes for good health as they grow. We wish hope for ourselves when we face change or difficulty.
Hope, to me, is born out of the promise one holds in their heart. When there is nothing concrete to rely on, it is our inner voice that prompts us to trust and believe in what the heart is set on. I think hope is a lovely notion, elusive as it is; it gives flight to many a dream and when combined with devotions or prayer, and often times delivers realization!
