Hope & commitment

Your level of hope and commitment go hand in hand.

The more positive you envision the future being, the more prepared you will be to get involved and sacrifice for the cause.

This is true for both ministry and the greater Christian life.

If a ministry has a positive/beneficial goal that they are trying to achieve, then people will be much more willing to jump on board.

Likewise, if a believer owns the hope that the message of Jesus offers (heaven and eternal life) then that will influence how they live today. They will be less focused on their comforts and more attentive to the needs of the gospel.

The challenge for those who lead is to paint the picture of hope in such a way that people will embrace it. More so, we need to be humble enough to step aside and let them be involved.
