Hope is a reaction to positive touch(on your feelings), it is an assurance, a positive assurance of what has not happened. It is a confident reaction that stems from faith. Hope is a by-product of Faith.
Words spoken have the ability to touch feelings and those words can be positive or negative. They (words) might not necessarily be negative at times, but when not filled with grace, they touch feelings in a negative way that brings fear and anxiety.
In essence, what you listen to has the ability to influence your feelings and Emotions.
A lot of people are been tomented by fear not because they are fearful but the negative informations percieved by their feelings breed fear in them. An instance is the recent issue of pandemic spreading across the globe, informations posted about it will definitely kill some people before the pandemic spread to their region.
As earlier mentioned, hope is the by-product of Faith and the Bible says, faith comes by hearing, not frickin scary informations, but hearing the word of God.
So therefore, the positive kind of Emotion Hope can only be sourced from faith which comes by hearing the word of God, from your Spirit (The Holy Spirit in you). Meaning, the word of God makes you stay positive and balanced emotionally.
Romans 10 vs 17 "So faith comes by hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the preaching [of the message that came from the lips] of Christ (the Messiah Himself)."
What a timely message more grace
