despair is not only a kind of sin
I can understand the temptation of despair; but, the sin becomes giving in to this emotion.
Fear is not of God (2 Timothy 1:7); and despair is a tool of satan to douse the positive Holy-Ghost energy built in, to see past the darkness.
hope is not positivity, but a fuel for their endeavors.
Yes! Where there is life there is hope (Ecclesiastes 9:3).
the fire of your passions will burn incessantly
As an unquenchable pilot light, even in the windiest storms it can’t be extinguished. You are what your passion is. Too often people are manipulated to go down a wrong path by well-meaning people…aka family and friends.
Great post!
Peace.
