Hope

"With us human beings, hope for a happy future usually rises from poverty and uncertainty; the Christian hope, however, rises from a possession which opens many more vistas for the future. That is why hope is regularly found in connection with faith and love, which are both possessions. But the very fact that we possess makes us feel painfully what we still miss; it 'tastes like more.' Hope therefore is the fruit of both possession and lack."

Hendrikus Berkhof quoted by Anthony A. Hoekema, The Bible and the Future, Pg.21
