Many Doses of Hope
Today I found a message from a friend which she posted on my Facebook wall. It stated simply: "I miss the doses of hope." I regret to have disappointed her or anyone else who may find the inspirational quotes from my calendar to be helpful. I am also pleased to know that there are those who find the blog posts encouraging.
So... in honor of my Facebook (and real life) friend, and with hopes that it will be a blessing, following are many quotes on the theme of hope taken from my daily calendar:
Thornton
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
This life is not all. It is an “unfinished symphony” … with him who knows that he is related to God and has felt “the power of an endless life”

If you had no winter the spring would not be so pleasant. If we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.
Keith Bradstreet
The three grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love and something to hope for.
Thomas Chalmers
For the Word of the Lord is right and true; He is faithful in all He does.
The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His unfailing love..
Psalm 33:4-5 NIV
The Best of all is God with us!
John Wesley
God knows everything about us. And He cares about everything. Moreover, He can manage every situation. And He loves us! Surely this is enough to open the wellspring of joy … And joy is always a source of strength.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Hope, like faith is nothing if it is not courageous
If you have a special need today, focus your full attention on the goodness and greatness of your father, rather than on the size of the need. Your need is so small compared to his ability to meet it.
God makes a promise – faith believes it, hope anticipates it, patience quietly awaits it.
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might
Ephesians 1:18-19 NASB-
God has always used ordinary people to carry out His extraordinary mission.
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must - but don’t you quit.
Henry Ward Beecher
I live on hope, and that I think do all who come into the world.
Robert Seymour Bridges
Grace grows best in the winter.
Samuel Rutherford
[God] … rekindles burned-out lives with fresh hope, restoring dignity and respect to their lives – a place in the sun! For the very structures of earth are God’s, He has laid out His operations on a firm foundation.
Samuel 2:8-9 Message
Of all the ills that one endures, hope is a cheap and universal cure.
Abraham Cowley
Prayer is the contemplation of the facts of life from the highest point of view.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The burden of life is from ourselves, its lightness from the grace of Christ and the love of God.
William Ullathorne
Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter. Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We shall step safely through every storm, so long as our heart is right, our intention fervent, our courage steadfast, and our trust fixed on God.
Frances DeSales
