We often hear people saying, “I am so blessed!” Sometimes we read it on social media. Sometimes we hear it on TV. It’s as though some people feel really grateful for all that they have in life be it good health, a successful career or the love of a special someone that they can really say “I am so blessed!”. It’s not that they have no right to say it. Gratitude of spirit is something we cannot contain within, we need to express it somehow. But through it all, a question arises, “What about other people?” What about other people who are sick? What about other people who are not so successful in their work? Or how about those who feel that they are so alone? Are they not blessed? Are they not loved by the same God above?
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.
