Topic: A
Definition Of Hope, Part 1 Of 2, How Ideas Connect To Hope
Ideas connect to hope. Part of a definition of hope
is "having a picture of a person, thing, or situation we
want..." This definition clearly points out a part of hope is
having an image or picture in our mind's eye. It is our mind's eye that
looks forward into the future. Looking forward is the essence of hope.
When we have a mental image or mental picture of a person, thing, or
circumstance in our mind, this picture is the starting point of finding,
having, and keeping hope. With no image or idea in our mind, then we do
not have anything to look forward to. A mind and heart having nothing to
look forward to is a mind and heart steeped in hopelessness. Hope is an
experience in the present connecting us to a picture of the future. Hope
can always come alive when we picture the future.
