Hope

Hope surrounds me, lights my thoughts With beauty and kindness, grace That is like a feather whispering, surrounding Me with joy so alive that I breathe Its tender affection, its intimate belief The honesty of such brilliant peace Hope colors me in hues of mystery Warms my soul with overflowing love Enlightens and encourages, relieves Eases the worries, the fears that haunt Sings to me of happiness that is alive Healing my pain, erasing the shadows That dissuade and bring doubts Into my spirit where I need to remember It is the light of His promise that fills me With unending courage, anticipation Dreams that come to life in His sight Blessings so alive they inspire my prayers Urge my heart to listen to the sighs Shimmering mercy through my cries Hope lasts and is louder than the night Reflecting wonders that confide Gifts of inspiration and imagination Insight into the psalms who provide Reassurance – comfort and strength Amid the darkness and the weakness The penetrating unease, the worries Agonizing floods of overflowing dread To be consoled by the fires that blaze Amazing and awesome, guiding souls Inviting perfect acceptance from the One Who knows me better than anyone Hope so alive it dances, swirling like leaves In the autumn sun – spinning a yarn Life poured out by the Son who abides On the inside, forever our guide, our light Inspiring and loving, tender and giving Reminding the soul that without Him, His love We don’t know what it is to truly live To feel the grateful flow of a love that overflows With intimacy, inspiration, tenderness Feelings so beautiful they brighten the heart Vibrating and trembling through the spirit With a light so brilliant it surprises even those Who know that He is love and He glows Brighter than the sun because He is the SON Who invites souls to shine their light… So everyone knows – He saves those Who believe in Him completely!
