Have the courage to allow yourself to be tenderhearted. Remember that the Christian life is a story of continual conversion from sin to forgiveness. Each day we sin. Each day we ask for forgiveness. Each day someone asks for someone to pray for them. Each day someone promises to pray for someone else. The Christian life offers hope. Hope is very important. Hope can be very contagious. There is something beautiful and delicate about Christian hope. Allow hope to strengthen your faith, to inspire your love, to lead you from darkness. Allow hope to guide you toward God. Sometimes humility, charity, and obedience play hide and seek within hope as a way to motivate each one us gently, lovingly to do the right things.
Hope asks us to remember Jesus Christ, to remember his ministry, to shape and live our lives with the humility, charity, compassion, mercy, and love that he taught.
The journey of hope begins with a question within our souls, sometimes it is a single word, a single idea but it can lead to something bigger and better with prayer, reflection, meditation. Hope is patient. Hope does not complain. Hope accepts and embraces and welcomes all signs of goodness, kindness, and holiness without question, without doubt.
Hope is goodness. Hope is pureness. It is beneficial for become closer to God, conducive to serving God, useful in loving God.
