LIVING HOPE=THROUGH LITTLE THINGS
There are many people
In this world
Who are MARGINALIZED
And mistreated
When we see the WOUNDS
Of others=
We can also
See their SORROW
And our earth is dying
From the IMPACT
Of our waste and
Consumption
Yet we can STILL SEE
HOPE in this world
From some little things
“For creation AWAITS
With eager expectation........” Romans 8:19
The whole earth
Seems eager and DESPERATE
We see all these REALITIES
In this world
That can DISCOURAGE US
Yet we remain
MOTIVATED BY HOPE=
Because hope BURNS in us
We continue to
Move FORWARD
And we continue to
Move CLOSER to Christ
“Put your HOPE
In God
For I will
Yet praise him-
My Savior=and my GOD” Psalm 42:5
“There is
Surely a FUTURE HOPE for you
And your HOPE
Will not be cut off” Proverbs 23:18
“........in order that we
Who were the first
To put
OUR HOPE in Christ
Might be for
The praise of his glory” Ephesians 1:12
Yes we can FIND HOPE
In the little
ORDINARY things in life
Just like Saint Theresa
The LITTLE FLOWER
Hope helps us NOTICE
God's power
In the tiny
And the mighty
Just like JESUS TAUGHT
The tiny mustard seed
Grows to GIVE
Shelter to birds
A small amount of yeast
Expands dough
And feeds the hungry
From the SIMPLE
Little ordinary things
In life
We become TRANSFORMED
Human beings
“........who by the power
That enables him
To bring everything
Under his control
WILL TRANSFORM
Our lowly bodies
So that-
They will be like
His glorious body” Philippians 3:21
Yes we find LIVING HOPE
In the little things
Of life
From Jesus=we LEARN
How to become
LIVING SIGNS OF HOPE
And HOW to give hope
To those IN NEED
Just by
The giving of ourselves
In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our EVER-HOPEFUL FATHER
