Dear pilgrims of hope,
how do we keep our hope alive?
Sometimes we are so sure that we know the path ahead of us. We have everything planned and we think we are in control. If Covid taught us one thing, then life can change in an instant and that control is an illusion.
Our hope is in Jesus Christ and if we fix our eyes on Him at the horizon, then we can see the path in the distance. There might be a valley in front of us that we cannot see, and there might be detours that we have to take. But as long as we fix our eyes on Him and our eternal home, then we shall endure in this temporal home. There is no Resurrection without the Good Friday.
Let us encourage one another and pray for one another. When we see a friend or a stranger in distress, we can ask them if we can pray for them. A light touch on the shoulder, an invocation of the Holy Spirit “Come, Holy Spirit” and praying from the heart, can encourage a brother or sister in Christ for another day.
Hope is a person. He has a name. His name is Jesus Christ. And when we speak his name with love and reverence, and call on Him, he will not forsake us.
Have a blessed weekend, dear pilgrims of hope. I pray for you. Please pray for me.
