INDEFENSIBLE HOPE
Copyright 2021 Don Ray
Take heart. Take no faith in this world, but take heart in its moments of beauty. It is after all God’s Creation, and its residents God’s children.
Take heart, though there be no worldly reason to hope. All worldly reasons to hope will pass, leaving those who rely on them with no hope at all.
Your hope is eternal and rooted in that enduring beyond time. Accept the gift, the holy gift, of hope not built on the fragile and crumbling structures of this world. Celebrate hope that stands defenseless for it needs no defense.
Celebrate hope unbroken since before the first unraveling of time.
Live in that hope, live for that hope, live because of that hope. Sense a hope that has never succumbed to the unremitting worldly insistence that it should not exist.
Wrap yourself in hope that warms from the inside out, hope not deduced or explained, but hope resilient and insistent.
Let hope carry you when none other will, and let hope at last reveal itself as hope no longer, but certainty.
