“Wishing has to do with what I want; it extends my ego desires into the future. Hope has to do with what God is planning to do; it arises out of faith rather than ego. We cultivate hope when we refuse to fantasize about what we want and rather live in anticipation of what God is going to do next." - Eugene Peterson
Hebrews 10:23-25 English Standard Version (ESV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
