Joyce Rupp: THE GIFT OF HOPE
☮️ Come! Enter into my memory and remind me often of the
yearning of the people of history. Stir up stories of how the ancestors hung on to promises, how they stole hope from tiny
glimmers passed on from age to age. Hear the loud, crying
voices of the prophets who proclaimed that a new age would
dawn.
☮️Come! Enter lives marked with pain, struggle, and deep
anxiety, those whose lives bear ongoing heartaches, those
whose difficulties threaten to overwhelm them with helplessness
and despair. Come and gift them with a deep belief about
hope.
