As we begin a new year, we desire to improve our talents—by the patience of hope and the labor of love. We all have hope. . . . Hope emanates from the Lord, and it transcends the bounds of this mortal sphere. Paul noted that “if in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable” (1 Corinthians 15:19). Only with an eternal perspective of God’s great plan of happiness can we ever find a more excellent hope. . . . Have you heard the old statement that “hope springs eternal”? It can only be true if that hope springs from Him who is eternal.
Nelson, Russell M.

Romans 15:13 offers a beacon of enduring hope in a world filled with uncertainty and fleeting sources of happiness. "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." This scripture invites us to look beyond the temporary and embrace an eternal perspective.
Understanding God's grand plan of happiness provides us with a deeper, more lasting hope. Unlike worldly comforts that wane, hope rooted in the eternal nature of God's promises grounds us in unwavering joy and peace. It's only through this eternal perspective that we can navigate life's challenges with a more excellent hope, one that transcends the here and now.
