I hope.

Without hope to pull it forward, holy discontent will turn poisonously in on itself morphing slowly to useless angry cynicism. The danger, at the prophetic edge, is in engendering a hope which arises from the thing hoped for—which cannot be sustained. Rather, hope must be engendered through a loving relationship with the one in whom we hope. We must encourage each other to hope for hope makes possible the prophetic words of holy discontent, we surely do not need more hopeless, useless, angry cynicism.
