Hope changes everythingYou can grow in your "Hope Quotient"
A Biblical Parallel The Apostle Paul
2 Corinthians 11:23b-29 (NIV) I have …been in prison more frequently,
been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again.
Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was
beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea.
I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in
danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and
in danger from false believers
I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst
and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked.
Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches. Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn?"

And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation
brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and

hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:3-5 (NASB)
