For me, it's my faith in Christ, my wife's beautiful smile and laughter from my kids...in that order.
God's WORD reveals something about this that is "Off-The-Charts-Inspiring!"
It's found in the book of Romans, chapter 5, verses 6-8. Here goes... Christ arrives right on time to make this happen. He didn't, and doesn't, wait for us to get ready. He presented himself for this sacrificial death when we were far too weak and rebellious to do anything to get ourselves ready. And even if we hadn't been so weak, we wouldn't have known what to do anyway. We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him. (The Message)
Make sure that your HOPE is built on something worth while... Remember, when it's all said and done, everything will be gone and all you will be left with is Christ standing in front of you. What would your response be if he were to say "Who did you place your HOPE and trust in?"
