Hope

Hope seems a strange bedfellow when paired with the likes of faith, love and other paramount virtues. Hope is an expectation, a desire for fulfillment, but it only seems to make us anxious in the present. We hope for our dreams to be fulfilled, yet wonder what we will have left to hope in once they are. It almost seems cruel to tell a friend that you love them, have faith in them, and have hope in them, as though they are not yet the best friend you might like them to be.

And yet God assures us that we should faithfully place our hope in him. While it may seem a recipe for disappointment, as our earthly hopes most nearly always are, the virtue's classification with such noble aspirations as faith and love reminds us that God's promises are truly worthy of our deepest hope.
