Someone with hope... doesn't give up!

Job is a great example of what it means to have hope. Job was directly attacked by Satan without knowing, and in a single day, he lost all his wealth. At the time he was the richest man in the East, and in addition he lost his children, for they all died.

The next day, he contracted a severe illness from head to toe to the point where he had to sleep in ashes and constantly cried out in pain. It was so terrible that his friends, upon seeing him, cried out in terror and his own wife told him to, "Curse God and die."

Finding himself in that state, Job wept, complained, and cursed the day he was born, but in the midst of his pain he made a great declaration: "Though he slay me, yet will I trust him."

When someone has hope, they don't give up! Therefore whatever you are experiencing, don't lose hope because with just a little hope, like Job you won't give up.

Martin Luther King said, "If I can help just one person have hope, I will not have lived in vain." The worst thing that can happen to a person is to lose hope.
