Hope vs Faith
Faith - “Faith is a complete trust or confidence in something.
Faith involves intellectual assent to a set of facts and trust in those facts.”
Hope - “Biblical hope is built on faith.
Hope is the earnest anticipation that comes with believing something good.
Hope is a confident expectation that naturally stems from faith.
Hope is a peaceful assurance that something that hasn’t happened yet will indeed happen.”

“In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
“If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.

Conclusion
An English woman had two daughters, one of which had died.
She was on a ship bound for America for a visit with her other daughter.
In a storm at sea it was feared that the ship might sink.
All the passengers save this woman were in a state of near panic.
When asked why she was so calm, she said: “Well, I have two daughters, one in America and one in heaven.
I am on my way to see my daughter.
If the ship survives, I will see the one in America.
If not, I will see the one in heaven.
So either way, I will see my daughter.”
