Hope is much more than wishful thinking or having a "Polly Anna" attitude about everything. Hope is certainly realistic about the problems and pitfalls of life, but it isn't overwhelmed by them. Hope has a healing quality about it that suffers pain like everyone else, but has a confidence that the day always follows the night. Hope has an internal drive that despite the obstacles, set backs and unforeseen detours, it still pursues a course of actions because it is right. The work of Hope is Discipleship. The Fruit of Hope is Joy.
