Zion

I ask…myself Where does hope reside In one’s spirit Despite obstacle’s The journey continues Yesterday cannot be relived To exact will For tomorrow’s truth Lingers for no man There is no victory In returning to yesterday Though we all desire Our memories to be reborn The promise must be held Throughout the daily struggle It is the clear mind that sees Zion is only a lifetime distant The answer…myself

That's why I get so caught up in nostalgia. If we had a deeper perspective of how it really was, we might look more with anticipation to what's ahead instead of what's past. A lifetime distant? Makes one think. Have a great day, Charlie. Vince

As I am unfortunately not allowed to disclose certain information regarding gifts I have been somehow chosen to aquire. I do have a question for you. I was led to this beautiful poem today, much like I was to the book of Isaiah early this morning. Is there a prophesy in the Scriptures regarding the daughter of Zion, helping others through the Tribulation period? Is it an actual female, or the city of Jerusalem as a whole? Peace, Ivy
