Today’s Just Be thought is about hope
It is also about pain.
I believe hope and pain are intimately linked.
As we experience various levels of pain, we also envision a better state of existence. I believe that vision is the birth of hope.
Just like we cannot have growth without struggle, we cannot have hope without pain.
Sometimes the pain seems overwhelming and there is no hope. That is a very real feeling and I’ve been the receiving end of that.
But just because we can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there.
I don’t go around pretending to be happy or see happiness and hope and rainbows and cute bunnies in dark times. That’s self-delusional.
But what I do is honestly ask God to help me see the better state, the path that takes me to a better place, the vision that will make me fulfil my task using my natural talents.
I ask for Hope.
