Optimism

“A trend has emerged when comparing leaders’ expectations for the next 12 months with their actual results a year later: In 10 of the 12 surveys compared, more leaders expected an increase than actually experienced one.” - MinistryWatch

“No Christian should be a pessimist. We should be realists—focused on the actuality that we serve a sovereign and gracious God. Because of the reality of Christ’s atoning sacrifice and His promises, biblical realism is, ultimately, optimism.” - Randy Alcorn
