Hope brings Purpose

Hope brings purpose; wow this is a cool thought. Just having hope gives you purpose, and giving hope to others gives you purpose. I know in my own case, when a good friend would come visit me in the hospital and encourage me, this would give me hope that maybe I would come out of the hospital. I had hope that everything was going to work out and someone out there really cared about me to come visit me. I'm sure the same is true for you. When somebody has come to offer you hope, this makes you feel significant and accepted by that person. It also gives you a sense of worth and value.

I know for me, six years after I went through my critical time in the hospital and have now recovered, I realize how vital hope is to a person's well being and especially to a tbi survivor's well being and recovery. Because of this, now I have a heart to offer hope to others who are going through what I went through. I cannot tell you how fulfilling it is to give hope to somebody. This has given me so much purpose. When you see the words of encouragement that you speak benefit someone else's life or uplift there spirit, the feeling of purpose and joy is awesome.

I encourage you to do the same. Find someone else you can give hope to, and your own life will benefit so much. You will have an amazing feeling of fulfillment and success knowing that something you said or did helped improve somebody else's life. Find at least two people you can give hope to today. You don't have to do something extravagant. You can do something as small as smiling or saying "Its great to see you today" or "How's your day going?" The smallest things, words, or small act of kindness can make a huge difference in someone else's life. Not only this, but it will also give you purpose of knowing how your words have benefited another person's life.

Hope brings  a feeling of being Valuable and loved.

Titus3:14 "And let our people learn to maintain good works to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful."
