"Hope is a guarantee of a bright and trouble-free future."

Yet, the Bible tells us in Romans Romans 5:3-4: "Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope."

This verse reveals the paradox that true hope often arises from enduring hardships, suggesting that hope is forged through challenges rather than avoiding them.
