Quote of the Day

Here is the best quote I have ever found about hope, and it's from the Bible. (Romans 5:3,4)

Tribulation worketh patience; and patience trial; and trial hope.

Trials produce hope. Without trial there is no hope. Pretty simplistic, isn't it?

I'm a great one for being 'good' when everything is going well, going according to plan. But as soon as something goes haywire, when my life has entered a trial, I'm the first one to complain, to lose hope, in other words. Paul, the great optimist, reminds us that hope does not disappoint. Thanks for the quote.

From trial comes hope...is that why my clients make me take cases to trial, even when I have no hope of winning?

The trial of our Lord's suffering on the cross brought the greatest hope- eternal life. Sometimes it's hard to have hope amidst pain and suffering, and that's when we can turn to the cross as our reminder of hope.
