Hopeful people see everything differently. When things are darkest, they believe in the coming of dawn. And they act accordingly. When things seem bleak, they rejoice because Spring is around the corner! When they are in lack, they believe that God will create a way for them to come into abundance.
They seem unstoppable.
The quality of a hopeful heart creates opportunity, or perhaps the ability to see opportunity and seize it. These are people who change the world with hope.
When Jesus taught his leaders, the first (perhaps therefore the most important) thing that he taught them was to see the harvest as "plentiful". Leaders don't see the glass half empty, the opportunities as few, or the people who want to follow Jesus as few.
Because of the hope within them, they see opportunity and seize it! By seeing it, they participate with their Creator to create.
