hOpE @};-

Hope. I think I'm beginning to figure out what it is, and how important it is in life.

It's trust that God will make everything work out ok.
It's belief that life will continue on when it seems like it's about to die out.

It's knowledge that God won't leave you in the dark abyss of life alone.
It's trust in God when He tells you to give up something because He has something better planned for you, and you can't see anything better than what you already have.

It's knowing that even if you aren't who you want to be, or don't feel strong enough to do something, God will be there to make you strong enough.
It's a vision of a better future, which gives you the drive to keep working in the present.

God has something great planned for me, for you, for each of us. Do we see even a small glimmer, or glimpse of that great plan? Life's so much lighter when we can see that; it gives us the courage and strength to go forth and do hard things. Life may suck right now, but we can keep pressing through and get to a better place...that's what makes us better people.


"Hold on, if you feel like letting go.
Hold on, it gets better than you know.
Don't stop looking you're one step closer.
Don't stop searching, it's not over.

Hold on."
