A couple of things to note in this passage:
1) Every time Paul is talking about "gentiles" he's talking about you and me. He's calling us to remember that though the roots of the Christian faith are found in Judaism, God's intent from the beginning, was global transformation. The scope of the mission of Jesus, was to redeem the whole world.
2) We are promised overflowing hope! This isn't something we have to manufacture or conjure up, it is something the Holy Spirit's presence will produce in us.
