~ The Gift Of Hope ~

Hope is a gift to grasp
A gift that we can give,
Hope is a very special treasure
To grant us strength to live.



We do not know its worth
Until our joy is lost,
We do not understand its power
Nor what its loss will cost.



When we are burdened down
With pain that is too great,
Then hope alone inspires our faith
That God rejuvenates.



There's much beyond our sight
We cannot comprehend,
But, God is working with design
And loves us as a friend.



He has a very special way
To bring His plan about,
If we have hope just like a child
His love will work it out.

Poetry from The Heart

I beseech you do not treat
God's promises as if they were
curiosities for a museum;
but use them as every day sources of comfort.
Trust the Lord whenever your time of need.
~Charles Haddon Spurgeon~
