Topic: Hope And Human Progress

Hope and the Light are the fuel of individual human progress. Hope and the Light give persons the motivation to move past poverty programs of human origin. Programs of human origin can never match the power of hope in God. Poverty programs work, as do other kinds of helping programs, only if these programs foster the development of hopes, dreams, and aspirations within the participants. Hopes and dreams reside in the human heart. When there is no hope there are no dreams. Hopelessness produces no conviction to a principle. Hope produces a conviction to a principle helping us overcome incredible odds. Hopelessness robs us of the ability to see the world around us, smell the flowers, or watch the birds. Hope raises our awareness into the heavens. When we are full of hope or "hope full", we see reality and can appreciate what God has created. There is hope for every person on earth and the greatest hope is in Christ, the only Son of God. Practically all people, no matter how primitive, have had a belief in a Supreme Being. God, as our greatest hope, comes from a supernatural place and He plants Himself in our souls. Sin occurs when we go against God's implanted will within us. Sin occurs when we diminish hope, the flame and fuel of life. Consider the horrible consequences of robbing hope from humanity and placing the human race or groups of us in desperate situations and circumstances. As a consequence of taking hope away, we see desperate people, who have no hope, consequently do desperate things.
