Hope is an essential component of human life. Hopelessness leads to misery and will even take away the desire to live. As a result of our need for hope, we often look for it in different places. We tend to try to find it in our jobs, government, friends, or a host of other places and the result is we are often disappointed. Real, true, and genuine hope comes from God. The hope that comes from God is ours when we have faith and trust Him.
