Hope

Thinking sometimes in life, you're drowning, all you can see is the water under you, there seems to be no hope, just a struggle to keep from being consummed.  A feeling that you are never enough and there are no other options.  The terror exaggerates all your movements rendering them useless and exhausting. In those moments where there is just you and death something miraculous can be born, if you call on God.  He calms your heart to stillness and lifts your head to look up to see him.  In that moment you realize there are other options.  There IS hope, there always was hope, you just refused to see it.  By stepping out of your fear and turning to face it, it's powerful grip is loosened.  By willing to honestly see the lesson the fear is there to teach you and being accountable for it, you are given the gift of Godly inspired creativity to transform the crisis into something new.  As you shift to hope and freedom, you find them and can take positive, productive action and let go of the need to control the end result. So much of our challenges in life are transformed by how we see them. Where you look, what you focus on, that's where you're headed.  That's what will fill your life.  There is always hope if you'll see it.
