The title of my album "Shine" is about hope. Hope is linked to faith. We know that “faith is the assurance of things hoped for.” Since faith is the trust we place in God’s Word, hand and heart, it gives a foundation for hope. God is our reason for optimism! Whenever hope is detached from faith, it becomes simply a wish. There is much in my life I may want (like a Leafs win!), but if it falls outside the scope of God’s promise and plan, it remains a personal preference.

So what does that mean for us? Just this. Hope is the future tense of faith. Since we trust in God, can you imagine what tomorrow will look like? In the office, church, school or new neighbourhood, our anticipation is less about our wishes. Our smiles are rooted in God. His love has taught us to trust Him. That trust opens the door to hope.

My hope for you when you listen to this album is this: May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)
