Glimmer of hope
A bright spot is a point of light or hope in an otherwise dim situation.
The literal sense—an area of greater luminosity—extends naturally to anything positive amid general difficulty: The strong jobs report was the only bright spot in an otherwise gloomy economy.
A bright spot offers relief or encouragement when surrounding circumstances are discouraging.
