Title: Don't Lose Hope
Contents
“Not only that, but we also rejoice in tribulation, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance, perseverance, character, and character, hope.”
In 1940, a child was born in the Bronx, a slum in New York. Her parents divorced her from an early age and left her alone, and she spent her adolescence working hard, from restaurant waitress to introducing prostitutes. His only pleasure was cinema. I soothed my loneliness by watching movies and imitating actors in the movies. After dropping out of high school, he spent nearly seven years as an idiot with no money in his pocket. Sometimes I had a hard time staying home on the street. Despite this, he did not lose interest in film, and at the age of 27, he went to acting school, and five years later, he released a film in which he starred. Since then, his acting skills have shone, and he has been nominated for an Academy Award seven times. In 1993, at the age of 53, he finally won the Best Actor Award for 'Scent of a Woman'. In his acceptance speech, he told a fan of a girl in the Bronx not to lose hope by revealing his origins. He is Al Pacino, an actor best known for his role in the movie 'The Godfather'. His success was the result of waiting without losing hope despite any difficulties.
Winter is cold. Cold weather freezes everything. But let's not forget that spring is conceived in that cold. Winter snow is the seed of spring. It is the mother of spring hidden in the snowy field. Those who bury the past in their white snow and dream of new days. He is a person who can create hope. No matter how cold and difficult life is, if there is hope, it can be endured. Christians have no freedom to despair. Rather, they embrace despair and persevere through adversity as a friend. Hope will never forsake you. Only you give up hope.
In Greek mythology, the first woman on earth was Pandora.
Pandora had a mysterious box full of all evil and misery. It was a box that should never be opened. But she ended up opening the box out of curiosity. Then all the evils inside the box came out, and fighting, anger, betrayal, jealousy, envy, etc. spread all over the world. And finally, there was hope left in the box. The last thing left in Pandora's box is hope, doesn't it mean that hope is always with us? To live is to hope.
The psychiatrist AH Maslow said, "Hope determines the values of man," the theologian Tillich said, "Hope gives man the meaning to live." The modern philosopher Huston Smith said, "Hope is the basic structure of a satisfactory life." As Helen Keller said, "Hope is the faith that leads to success. Without hope nothing can be accomplished, and without hope there can be no human life." The English poet and theologian George Herbert said, "Hope is the bread of the poor." And the English theologian Thomas Fuller said, "Great hopes make great men." Also, Eliot Warren Rice of the United States said, "Hope is the cure for disease, disaster, and sin. Hope is really important.
“My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my hope comes from him” (Psalm 62:5).
Rabbi Hugo Green wrote about his painful experiences in a German concentration camp in a post-war German magazine: It was a very cold winter in 1944. My father, who was imprisoned with me, had me and a few friends gather in a corner of the camp building. My father said that that day was the 'evening of Hanukkah', a Jewish holiday. My father offered me a clay bowl, melted the precious butter that is hard to find in the camps, moistened the wick, and lit a candle instead of a candle. I protested to my father for not eating that precious butter and wasting it. My father looked at me quietly and said: "A man can live for three weeks without food. But he cannot live for a moment without hope."
No matter how difficult the situation, never lose hope. Hope is the closest friend to success.
