Stay Hopeful
"Share the hopes within you still
And hold the dreams that in you reside
Invite a kiss from parted lips
And trace the paths where hearts abide."*
Soar above frustration despair
with God’s love keeping you steadfast
becoming a blessing to others
who are struggling from pains of the past.
Savour the Lord’s offered grace divine
trusting His Word, tastefully sweet
nurturing anticipation faith buds
for wondrous tomorrows to greet.
Seek always the Almighty’s wisdom
leading toward triumphant trail
warned against lurking allurement bait
valiantly smiting voices that derail.
Stay hopeful* midst prayer-filled days
reaching-out by Holy Spirit’s might
blissfully serene and grateful
looking forward for fruits of delight.
*Words from Joseph May
**Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
