Hope makes you see God’s guiding hand not only in the gentle and pleasant moments but also in the shadows of disappointment and darkness.

From Psalm 37:24-26:  “Our steps are made firm by the Lord when He delights in our way; though we stumble, we shall not fall headlong,  for the Lord holds us by the hand.”

Henri Nouwen (1932-1996) was a Dutch priest, professor, writer, and theologian.
