December 15th Daily Reflection

HOPE! It's a word that inspires some while causing great concern in others. There are numerous thoughts on what hope really means. I believe all meanings are valid, however, the most profound definition of hope to me is that hope is a symbol of great faith! We hope for things - material and immaterial - and we go to the Lord in pray to make them a reality and because the Lord responses in him own time, we must wait and it is during this period of waiting that hope is displayed. If we have great hope, the wait is a wonderous time and we spend it strenghten our relationship with the Lord! Hope the best way to demonstrate our faith, at least that is my humble opinion.
