The costly nature of hope

"Hope requires risk, so much that it hurts. Hope makes us vulnerable to future and even greater loss. Hope exposes us to disappointment, frustration, and betrayal. Faith plants the seed and promises a harvest, and so creates hope. But with the promise of a harvest comes the possibility that the promise will fail. That is the burden that hope must bear."
- Ray Anderson, The Soul of Ministry

I feel this.
