Life....

    Life seems dark right now...
    with no light ahead.
    I know its true when I hear,
    "Life is not a bed of roses", repeatedly
    being said...
    I have some expectations, small ones, little
    ones...which would bring me happiness
    nevertheless by the tons...
    I know you are trying hard to make things
    work and things go right...
    But everyday seems to bring with it
    something that gives me a fright.
    I feel let down, my hopes receeding,
    The colours that make up life
    seem to be fading...
    I want my life to change,
    But everything seems....so...out of range!!
    I want something to look forward to,
    but that right now, seems impossible.
    You dont feel the vaccuum, so there's nothing
    you can do
    But to think that you dont understand my
    pain,
    That feels terrible too...
    I feel I am existing, day after day...
    Acting out my path, like in a play.
    Stepping over obstacles that life
    challenges me with...everyday!!!!
True Hope

  Not long ago I visited the Burj Khalifa. The line looked short-just down the corner. Yet as we entered the building, we discovered the line of people stretching through the lobby, up the stairs, and into another room.
  Attractions and theme parks carefully route their crowds to make the lines shorter. Yet disappointments lurk "just around the corner". 
   Sometimes life's disappointments are much more severe. The job we hoped for doesn't materialise; the romantic relationship we longed for fails to work out, the loss of a loved one. But into these heartbreaks, God's word speaks of a refreshing truth about hope in Him.
    As we place our trust in Him, God whispers the truth that we are unconditionally loved and will be liberated by Him- regardless of the obstacles we face. In a world that may often disappoint us, how good it is to know that God gives us true genuine hope.
