Prov. 13:12

Hope deferred makes the heart grow sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.

Ironically, it was the Communists who accused “religious” people of providing a hope that only comes in the afterlife. Today we are seeing an example of how the Communists prevented hope from coming to the Ingush people in this life. But a true hope for any believer is one that includes a hope for this life and for the life to come.
