...hope is never wasted. Even if what I hoped for did not come to fruition as I had imagined, as I had hoped. Hope is placing the beautifully vulnerable parts of ourselves, our raw selves, into His hands. I believe hope moves His heart; but hope also moves our hearts into His hands. Hope builds trust.Natalie Brenner
About This Quote
The idea that hope is never wasted is one of the most important concepts to hold on to. If you let your hope die, you will be lost. Hope is the only thing that keeps us going. Hope doesn't just help us endure, it helps us endure better. It keeps us going even when we don't have any other reason to.
