In our world today, hope is a verb, an action, defined as “a desire or wish”. Something we “hope” will happen. The hope that we have in God is a noun; it’s a possession and is used as a noun in the Bible many times. "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jer 29:11) and “My hope comes from the Him” (Ps 62:5). It’s nothing we have to wish will come true, we just have to accept the gift. Hope is the truth that we have an eternity in heaven with God at the end of this life. Being filled with God’s hope shows all those around you that you know how this story ends – and you’re excited about it!
