Hope
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. (Martin Luther King, Jr.)
Life is full of disappointments. Much of the time, that’s because what happens doesn’t live up to our expectations. Often, we have very selfish, shallow, and unrealistic expectations. And our hope, like faith, is placed in untrustworthy realities. But no matter how difficult, a life that is grounded in reality and truth, can have infinite hope.
Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you (Psalm 25:5).
