“The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.” Robert G. Ingersoll (1833-1899)
Don’t spend too much time worrying about the source of hope in your life. Just use your hope to fulfill some noble purpose.
As many of you know, the theme of my blog is, “The Power and Promise of Hope.” As a person of faith, my strength comes from the hope I have in a Triune God. I realize not everyone shares that same source of hope and strength.
That being said, I have not always found my strength in God to be an immediate source of hope. I have not always found the courage to bear adversity with the knowledge that my defeat will only be temporary in nature.
