We often hear about people’s ‘RIGHTS’ and how people fight for them, rights such as the right to freedom and life and respect. But have we ever wondered where such rights come from? Who gives us those rights? Who takes them away? I guess the problem comes when those who take them away aren’t the ones who have the authority to give them in the first place. The problem also comes from not knowing what our rights really are. For me, it is God who gives us those rights, (if it is proper to call them rights). For everything God has given us He has given us only out of GRACE. We did not create ourselves, and we cannot demand anything from the one who created us out of nothing. We can only give thanks for all the things He has given us. And He gave us so much good! We are only the ones who spurn His blessings and choose darkness instead of light.
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.
