When we wish, we limit ourselves to the things we simply want. When we hope, we based it on the promises of God. We based it on what God has already done for us and through us. You can wish all you want, but it won't make it true. But you can hope every second of the day and trust in faith that God will bless you and your efforts according to the promises he has made in scripture to those who choose to live faithfully with Him!
