“He will either shield you from suffering or will give you
unfailing strength to bear it. Be at Peace and put aside all anxious thoughts
and imaginations.” Saint Francis de Sales
Hope heals us, it fights our fears, and it opens our eyes
to opportunities. Each day I try to live a life of hope but somedays it can be hard.
Something I was thinking about was this Lenten journey is a journey of hope. We
experience the darkness, and we wait in hope for the rising of Jesus on Easter
Sunday. When I think about that I know that it’s ok to be optimistic and
believe that everything will be fine. The darkness is not permanent, it will pass,
and we will see the light again. This journey is teaching me to focus on the
things that make me happy and bring me peace and one thing I focus on is Hope,
as well as Faith and Love. Without those three ingredients I would be lost still
finding my way.
He's waiting for me wherever I am on my journey, and he
guides me into the light, a light that I love. I also love the image by
Michaelangelo where the hand of God is outstretched reaching for Adam’s hand.
This image reminds me that God created earth and created us all in his image
and likeness. It also suggests that God loved the world so much that he wants
to reach out and help us on our journey by his love and compassion. There is
another way he shows us his love and that is by sending his only son into the
world to save us.
There is hope in his love and if we choose to believe and
trust than hold your hand out and allow his hand to lift you up into the light
and may that light shine brightly on you for you are truly blessed and loved by
God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
'Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost but may have eternal life. For God sent his Son into the world not to condemn the world, but so that through him the world might be saved. John 3:14-21'
