Hope comes from remembering all that God has done for us. It's in the Bible, Romans 5:1-2, NIV. "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. Therefore we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God."

When discouraged put your hope in Christ. It's in the Bible, Psalm 42:11, NIV. "Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will praise Him, my Savior and my God."

Hope motivates other valuable virtues. It's in the Bible, Colossians 1:5, NIV. "The faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth."

Hope grows as we remember the promise of the resurrection. It's in the Bible, I Thessalonians 4:13, NIV. "Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope."

You must use your heart to find hope. It's in the Bible, Ephesians 1:18, NIV. "I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints."
