Hope is a positive imagination.
We were created to create.
In order to create we must imagine that which we would like to create. The effort that we put forth to create that which we have imagined comes from the faith that we will succeed.
Without Hope, there is no faith and so no effort to create. We become dull. For a person to become dull is shameful.
But when we hope we are covered with the love of the HolySpirit. And we see His glory manifesting through us in that which we create by faith.
