This is the truth,
that we don’t know what really lies ahead.
We don’t know what the next turn will bring us,
whether sadness or joy or purpose or hope.
Only God knows.
And if who know Him who knows,
we can believe.
We can start to trust.
That even when things go dark and hopeless,
all is not yet lost,
that things could still be better.
Things could still turn out for the best,
through the Hand of Him who knows
and who loves without measure nor end.
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
