Hope keeps us moving forward. I cannot imagine my life without hope. Hope fuels us to face impossible challenges. Hope is the expectation that we will obtain what we desire. Hope is a special gift from God in the day to day monotony and in the middle of difficult circumstances. Hope encourages us to keep running the race until we reach the finish line.
The Greatness of Love
We couldn't live our lives without faith or hope. Without faith we cannot know the God of love. Without hope we would not endure in our faith until we meet him face to face. But in spite of the importance of faith and hope, love is even more crucial.
Why is love the greatest? Because without love, there would be no redemption. God is love (1 John 4:8), and he sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us. To sacrifice his life for us. This is the epitome of love. Thus, love is the virtue upon which all of our faith and hope now stand.
The Value of Faith
The value of faith cannot be disputed. In fact, Hebrews 11:6 states, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God, must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." (NKJV) Without faith, we couldn't come to Christ, and without faith, we couldn't walk in obedience to him. Faith often motivates us to move forward even when the odds are against us. In a sense faith is closely related to hope.
Faith Quotes
“Fear tolerated is faith contaminated.”
“Never dig up in unbelief what you have sown in faith.”
“I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to Him; but the Holy Ghost has called me by the Gospel, enlightened me with His gifts, sanctified and kept me in the true faith.”
Thoughts

. A daily dose of God’s wisdom will heal the heart disease of envy.
. As we trust God to rule our hearts our feet can walk His way.
. We don’t get closer to God by passing judgment on others.
