Hopeless no more...

Hopelessness.  It's all around us.
Life can hurt.  Life can overwhelm.  Life can eventually drown.

But when I am feeling that familiar tug, THIS IS MY HOPE...

Lamentations 3:21-26
Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:  Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.  I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”  The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
This is so rich, and there's so much I could say, but sometimes it's just best to let the Word speak for itself.  So for now, that's it.  And it's more than enough.
