Hard To Hope...

I heard someone wish for belief in Heaven after earth,

for the hope it gives to this life's fragility,

for the comfort it gives to loved ones left behind

but in doing so would also need to acknowledge the possibility of hell

(because God is love, holy and just)

So it is hard to Hope without recognizing

there must be Jesus aka Salvation!

  Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. 

I do not give to you as the world gives. 

Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. 

Jesus.

 (John 14:27) the whole chapter is AWESOME!

It shows the Way when Thomas asks,
“Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

Hard to hope without a heaven

Hard to hope without Belief

Hard to Hope without a reason

Higher than Time’s earthy Chief

Hard to hope without Salvation

Hard to hope without the Truth

Hard to hope through tribulation

Without knowing why, in Who

Hard to hope without Forgiveness

Hard to hope past what we see

Hard to hope, love, without Jesus

For without Him, 

Hope cannot be

 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!

 In his great mercy he has given us new birth 

into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
