Hoping can break your heart. The difference between hoping and wishing, says writer William Sessions, is the presence of strong desire.
Hoping can break your heart. That is why we carry one big hope, the secret hope you don't even dare to breathe: that when you have lost that something you were hoping for, and it might have been really really big, there is a Someone you can put your hope in.
Without hope, there is no faith. Hope is faith waiting for tomorrow.
Faith requires belief, and believing is what we do with our minds.
Faith requires commitment, and committing is what we do with our wills.
But faith must also have hope, and hoping is what we do in our hearts.
- John Ortberg, in Faith and Doubt
