Faith vs. Hope
One of the traps we so often fall into is the confusion of hope with faith. Hope has scarcely any relation to faith at all, and though many times more desirable than despair, nevertheless is a frail instrument indeed for moving the Subconscious Mind.
Hope is a pessimist looking at things optimistically.
Hope is a querulous wish for something better.
Hope says evil is more real than good, with the timid reservation that everything might turn out all right anyway.
Hope is a dimly perceived light, now flickering faintly in the darkness, now obscured by the gloom.
Hope is wishing.
Faith, on the other hand, is a radiance that bathes all things in illumination.
Faith is knowing.
Faith is mental law.
