Life Lesson From Star Trek (TNG)

The other night, my dear hubby and I were engaging in one of our favorite pasttimes: watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. (I ♥ you, Netflix!) In the episode we were watching, Counselor Troi lost her empathic ability. She wasn't sure if it was permanent or temporary, but was trying to stay optimistic. Dr. Crusher cautioned Troi against false hope, to which Troi replied, "There is no false hope, only hope!"
That sentiment really resonated with me, as I have experienced a somewhat difficult personal situation over the past few months. Some days I think I subsisted on hope alone, because my faith (and admittedly, my maturity) was lacking. I'm coming out of it, thanks to an improvement in my situation, renewed faith, and sunshine. Still, I think it's good to remember that there is no false hope. There is only hope. :) God has been so good to me, and so consistently. What should I fear?
