Hope

Hope is not the absence of doubt,
and it is not the abandoning of all reason.
It is the small, flickering flame in the heart,
which doubt may quench,
but love may fan the flame till it is bright.
The love of a stranger, a friend, my Father God,
reminds me that there is a reason to hope,
and though all sensible reasoning may stand against me,
my hope will not be dissapointed,
For my hope is built uppon The Rock,
and if our God is for us, then who can be against us?
