Hope Restored

It happens to every one of us.  Daily.  We get discouraged.  We lose site of hope.  But God is always there, holding hope in His hands, just waiting for us to look in His direction so we can see it.

Hope Restored

Often life seems to be filled

with nothing more than distant dreams.

We stagger through barren lands

with shattered hearts and misplaced regrets,

certain that there is no road that will lead

beyond the shadows.

It is this certainty that leads us astray.

For hope is waiting in the wings,

biding time,

anxious for the chance to restore faith,

anticipating the moment.

And when we need it most

a strand of light will sneak through the shadows

and come to rest in the darkness of our path.

illuminating the way,

giving life to the dreams,

casting away the shadows,

making us believe anything is possible.

Because it is.
