Yet To Be #86

The first and the last my eternal Hope

When There is Pain, There is Help

Cherry Blossoms 2021

When promises are broken and my sorrow reaches higher than my joy.

There is One who knows my pain.

He knows my needs.

He knows my name; 

And hears my cries.  

He is my help.  

My King, my Lord of lords.

The first and the last; my eternal Hope.

Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

God will never forget the needy, the hope of the afflicted will never perish.

He who promised is faithful.

( References: Hebrews 10 verse 23, Isaiah 40 verse 31 and Psalm 9 verse 18)

This Too Shall Pass

Hope springs eternal

“the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come…” Song of Solomon verse 11, 12

Winter time is cold and bleak as with life when there is sorrow things are cold and bleak. Yet, when winter passes there is the anticipation of spring as the harbinger of hope.

Someone reminded me today, “hope springs eternal in the human breast”. This famous quotation was taken from the 18th century English poet Alexander Pope’s An Essay on Man (1732).

When faced with adversity humans will try to hope for the best.
