Hope is Amazing!

Lately I've been thinking and asking Myself what is hope? well to me the word hope means to have an assurance that something will happen by faith. According to "True to the Faith" hope is Misunderstood to a lot of people  like I hope the weather will change today or I hope a friend will come over today, but to the gospel it means sure, unwavering, and active. When we have hope we trust in his promises. According to the scriptures the prophet Moroni taught " Whoso Believeth in god might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make sure and steadfast, always abounding in good words, being led to glorify God"(Ether12:4). This Scripture is really good on hope and faith because its saying we can't have Hope without Faith and we can't have Faith without Hope. Hope in the  Websters Dictionary says that 1. A desire supported by confidence of its fulfillment  2. That which is desired 3. Expectation, confidence. I was thinking about another anime that I watch its called Fullmetal Alchemist the two main Characters are Edward Eleric and Alphons Eleric and they have a hope that they will  be able to return their bodies back to normal with the philosophers stone but first they hope they can find it first. President James E. Faust taught: " Hope is the Anchor of our souls... " Hope is trust in Cods Promises, faith that if we act now, the desired blessings will be fulfilled in the future.... " The unfailing source of our hope is that we are sons and daughters of god and that his son, the Lord Jesus Christ, saved us from death". As you strive in the Cospel , you grow in your avility to' abound in hope, Through the power of the Holy Ghost"(Romans 15:13). With hope you can find joy  in your life. i say these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
