Hope...

So in this blog I wanted to find the most encouraging words/scriptures in the bible. I briefly talked to John Bishop last night and the one thing that stuck in my mind about our conversation was that he said "don't lose hope" ... So here is what I found in my library, the bible. - by the way there hundreds of amazing texts... i simply chose my favs.
