#10 of 31 Hope and Disbelief – Strange Bedfellows

“If I should say I have hope” Ruth 1 verse 12

Hope is an energy that makes the lights stay on.

It thinks of the good, that something wonderful will happen.

Not that it could happen, but it will happen now, at this very moment.

It believes and waits in sweet anticipation for the now.

But when nothing gives way in the now, hope doesn’t wither and fade;

Eyes are set on the horizon, on the new tomorrows, on the future that will come.

Always believing never standing on the bleakness of disbelief,

But knowing with certainty, it will happen. 

The lights will stay on;

The lights will shine bright; brighter still than the noonday sun.

When there is hope, disbelief cannot abide.
