Future’s Hope

Stirring in early morn

Feeling approaching tide

Future’s hope now airborne

Flying without clear guide

 

Standing still at crossing

Waiting for next green light

Future now crisscrossing

Hiding in hopeless night

 

Looking for place to rest

Stumbling along dark road

Future stalls at hill’s crest

Spilling hope’s heavy load

 

Waking to darkest gloom

Hoping for one sure thing

Future trying to bloom

Hanging on threadbare string

 

Seeing fresh hope renewed

Shifting life’s paradigm

Future no longer skewed

Finding success to climb

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.  Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

From Romans 5:3-5:  “And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

A complete holiday from self-pity is necessary to success.

From Psalm 30:5:  “For His anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a lifetime.  Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”

Too many tasks

Where to begin?

Overwhelming

Life in tailspin

 

Slowing down, breathe

Dividing tasks

One at a time

Patience unmasks

 

Never alone

Dad’s words come back

Remembering

Wisdom unpacks

 

Taking one step

Then another

Bringing success

Like none other
