We toss around words like faith and love all the time. And most of us can describe both with minimal difficulty. But hope? What in the world is it? And is it really essential?
Webster defines hope. "to desire with expectation of fulfillment." To hope is to anticipate. It is within ourselves an expectation that someday there will be fulfillment of that desire. it will become a reality. Hope always looks to the future, it's always on tiptoes. It keeps us going. it makes a dismal today bearable because it promises a brighter tomorrow. Withoit hope, something inside all of us dies.
We can live several weeks without food, days without water, and only few minutes without oxygen, but without hope- forget it.
