In Others’ Words: What is Your Great Hope?

It’s safe to say we’ve all hoped for different things at different times in our lives.

Little hopes like passing a test or finding a parking space in a crowded parking lot or maybe even finding those perfect pair of shoes in our size … and on sale. (Okay, I realize I may have lost any guys reading this post with that last little hope.)

And then there are the bigger hopes like making friends the first day at a new school or making it onto the sports team or making it into the college of your dreams.

But what about great hopes? The kind of hopes that guide our lives … guide our choices … the kind of hopes that define us … that reflect our values. 

Maya Angelou’s great hope encompasses laughing and crying and work and love — and yes, courage.

My great hope?

My great hope is to be honest about who I am and to stand in the wide open spaces of God’s grace; to remember Jesus is my only ground of confidence and to always look for opportunities to love and encourage others.
