Hope is undeniably responsible for many of life’s greatest triumphs. Hope is one of the most compelling feelings one can be motivated by. Life sometimes can feel bitter, harsh, and unrelentingly cruel. Without the power of hope, sometimes these conditions can feel as though they are too much to bear.
I have felt defeated by life. And in those moments when I found myself down on my knees, crying out to the Lord, I have been saved by my strong faith as well as hope. Even the smallest strand of hope can sustain the weary.
Hope reaches out to all of us. It is present in all of our struggles. Hope is always available to you. Be open and allow the power of hope to touch you. Never give up on yourself or on hope. In giving up and allowing the struggle to defeat you, you miss life’s greatest joys and become blind to life’s most potent lessons.
Though tears may stain the canvas, hope allows us to see that life truly is, always a masterpiece.
