May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father,
who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope,
encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 NIV
***
Hope works in these ways:
it looks for the good in people instead of harping on the worst;
it discovers what can be done instead of grumbling about what cannot;
it regards problems, large or small, as opportunities;
it pushes ahead when it would be easy to quit;
it lights the candle instead of cursing the darkness.
Tony Robbins

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess,
for he who promised is faithful.
Hebrews 10:23 NIV

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
