The Tide-Turning Power of Hopeნიმუში

The question is this: Where do we turn when there is nowhere else to go?

When we are down and out, messed up, fearful, and stressed, to whom do we look?

When bankruptcy brings us to our knees, when the death of a loved one takes our joy away, or when our errors in judgment shipwreck our lives, how do we dig ourselves out of the difficulties we find ourselves in?

An eternal view is what puts our earthly challenges into perspective.

I’ve come to understand my story within the larger narrative of humanity.

Stress doesn’t win.

Violence doesn’t win.

Failure doesn’t win.

Cancer doesn’t win.

Even death doesn’t win.

Knowing that the end of this life on earth is a comma, not a period and that we have an eternal home gives me peace within the drama of life.

We all come to a place where we are weary and carrying burdens.

Jesus offers an invitation to live life, experience joy, to dream again. It is an invitation to eternity.

An invitation for the dead stump to flourish and come back to life.

The invitation is to all of humanity. It is to you.
