Modern
Day Samaritan Woman
Five Minute Friday
Hope
I
have recently joined a group of writers for Five Minute Friday, hosted by Kate Motaung. Every
week we write for five minutes after receiving a one word prompt. No editing or
over thinking involved….Just writing for the love of writing.
Here
goes!!!!
Psalm 42:11 “Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within
me?
Hope in God; For I shall yet
praise Him,
The help of my
countenance and my God.”
Hope
rushes into the ruins of our troubles.
Hope
wades right into our heavy and hard …
Hope
is a person … a saviour …
When
all seems at its worst, Hope ignites a tiny spark within my heart…
That
just maybe … it will turn out alright
Just
maybe … it will pass
prompting
me to try again …
to
get up …
to face the ugly head on…
to
press into the hard …
to
deal with the impossible and unpleasant …
Hope
not only wades right into my mess to find me …
Hope also picks me up … and carries me out
When
I am just …
too heavy to look up …
too
heavy to stand …
too
heavy to move ….
Hope
is my Jesus…
Knowing
that He has all things in His hands …
Aware
that He loves me … Despite me …
I
dare to hope in Hope!!!
Because
I know He always brings me out of the heavy…
He always
saves me …
I
will sing His praises because He is the One who is worthy of my praise…
He
is my saviour and my God…
Do
you like me sometimes find yourself deep in the heaviness of heart brought on
by circumstances and life?
Sometimes
we walk right into it without thought; but most times circumstances throw us
into the middle of the ugly and hard and we struggle to stay afloat …
Remember
always: Hope is a Person and His name is Jesus…
He
will fetch you right in the middle of your mess…and bring you out of it…
*Hugs* till next time.
