“For God hath not given us a spirit
of fear; but of power, of love, and of
a sound mind.”
Yet how often do we find ourselves
weak, hands hanging limp
head bent down
spirit drained and hopeless
as though we were paupers
and weaklings
rather than sons and daughters
of the Most High God?
Being good is not being gutless
and being kind is not being
bereft of courage
See yourself for who you really are
someone with an eternal heritage
redeemed and imbued with royalty,
soaring
and breaking through
like the sunshine
towards your divine destiny!
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.
