Hope deploy the dramatic lightning striking from above against the darkness this painting further expresses the anguish of a young girl looking up to God and hope things turns back alive. People often cling to hope in the midst of difficult times, because the human heart—though often tempted to despair—insists on hoping for something better. Because Christian hope is founded on God and not human achievement or feelings, we do not have to feel a sense of optimism in order to have hope. For Christians, hope is a deep knowledge that evil does not have the last word, because Christ was victorious over sin and death on the cross. One day the world will be made anew and it will be a place of justice, joy, love, and peace. Christian hope lets faith in God and his future change the present. Faith in God’s goodness gives hope for today and tomorrow.
