Hope is not anticipation of a certain outcome,
but trusting goodness.
The root and center of all things
is an abiding goodness, powerful and eternal.
Despite all danger and evil, all fear and hurt,
that goodness, that grace, endures.
We trust it.
And that is our hope.
Hope has survived war and tyranny.
It has also at times prevented them.
Trust that love, more powerful than fear,
that grace, which never forsakes us.
The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness cannot overcome it.
This trust is not wishing. It’s knowing.
This is hope.
