Hope is a wonderful force that is lost to many. In this modern
age life takes many twists and turns. For some life is abundant and
prosperous filled with vision and hope for the future, and yet for some the
very heart of their life has been destroyed or put on hold through the
circumstances of life.
Yet there are different seasons to our lives. This is
well described in Ecc 3:1-4.
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every
activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant
and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear
down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to
mourn and a time to dance.”
Even the ancient poet Edmund Spencer gives way to that Hope may be recovered
“For there
is nothing lost that may be found, if sought”
The Faerie Queene, Book 5,
Canto II,
Edmund Spenser 1596AD
We can trust the Lord – No matter what circumstance of life we are in, He is
always faithful. He will surround us with His grace and enable us to walk
the journey we are in. I encourage you if this is your story – put your
trust in Him who knows your path – He will be your Light in the darkness
your find yourself, and He will be your Guide on the rugged terrain of your
life.
"If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your
hopes."
St.
Clement of Alexandria

Purpose
How did I
find myself here
what great
thing have I achieved
There is
nothing that I could find
For my
strength was based on
brokenness
alone
But yet I
look at my today
with all my
tomorrows calling me
So how did I
survive this road of life
I must have
been carried from on high
How could I
pull myself up
From the
death life that was mine
Only
explanation I can find
Is by your
truly amazing grace
Now my eyes
turned to see
That there
are sisters who are
Still lost,
still broken, still dying
Now all I see
is “them”
The lovely
lonely ones
Still dying
in despair
The ones you
put me here for
The ones my
heart will be
An advocate
of your love for
