Holding Onto Hope

"HOPE is more than a word--
it's a state of being.
It's a firm belief that
even if you don't know how,
even if you don't know when,
God will come through
and better days are ahead.
Life brings rain...
HOPE dances in the puddles
until the sun comes out again."

-Holly Gerth-

I can't see it.

I can't feel it.

Just a sitting duck.

But there is a kind of hope that keeps me going.

My Greatest Assignment

What assignment? (Is that 15 seconds of caring?)

One assignment that I've been neglecting long time is my greatest assignment.
A life long assignment.
An assignment with a great purpose.
It was planned for me before I even knew it.
And it should be spent helping others.

The fearful thing is that loving others shouldn't be hard.
If there is no love, there is no desire to serve others.
Knowing that a saved heart should be one that wants to serve...

Why didn't God just take us up to heaven when we accepted His grace?
Why would He leave us here on this corrupted world?
There's just something more to us being here.
If we aren't serving, we only exist. We are fully alive when we help others.
Everyone is different, but God has a purpose for each.
He will assign us, and use us, if we stop making excuses.
