Hope.

"Hoping does not mean doing nothing. It is not fatalistic resignation. It
means going about our assigned tasks, confident that God will provide the
meaning and the conclusion. It is not compelled to work away at keeping up
appearances with a bogus spirituality. It is the opposite of desperate and
panicky manipulations, of scurrying and worrying. And hoping is not dreaming. It
is not spinning an illusion or fantasy to protect us from our boredom or our
pain. It means a confident, alert expectation that God will do what he said he
will do. It is imagination put in the harness of faith. It is a willingness to
let God do it in his way and in his time. It is the opposite of making plans
that we demand that God put into effect, telling him both how and when to do
it."
-- Eugene Peterson.

Hope is a beautiful thing isn't it?
