Hope for the Hopeless

O, Hope of Life,
Where are You? 
Have You become my guest? 
Who comes and goes,
Who leaves with no effect.
No footprints... 
No memories... 

Has the storms of life,
Squeezed You away from me?  
Has the thunders of life,
Silenced Your voice in me? 
Is my heart too muddy,
To inscribe Your footprints? 
Is my mind too busy,
To think about You? 
Why, no footprints? 
Why, no memories? 

Oh, Fire of Hope,
Why, is there no spark? 
Ignite my heart,
Rekindle the fire,
Flame my heart,
Help me to believe,
Help me to believe again. 

Ignite my heart,
With Your Word. 
Rekindle the fire,
With Your Spirit,
Flame my heart,
With Your love. 

Bring Hope. 
Bring Faith. 
Bring Love. 
Bring Yourself. 
Bring Yourself to me.

Hope begins to reign again,

It brings light to my path,

To show me the way.

It brings growth. 
The spark blazes to a fire,
The droplet grows to an ocean,
The seed sprouts to a tree,
The infant matures to an adult. 

This growth produces,
Patience and endurance.
Now, my heart doesn't cry,
To calm the storms. 
It cries to calm itself,
In the midst of the raging storms. 

Now, when life sends rain,
Hope dances in the puddle,
And causes my spirit to rejoice. 
My heart begins to see a way,
Even though my eyes see no way. 
For, My God will make a way,
Where there seems to be no way. 

I begin to weather,
Through the storms. 
And see the rainbows. 
The colors from the rainbow,
Splashes its colors on me,
I start to splash these colors,
On others to beautify them. 

Oh God, what beautiful portrait,
You have made through my life. 
Now, I understand why You used,
Those specific paints in my life. 
Even though those colors,
Were painful at that time,
Now, my heart rejoices for the pain. 
If that pain did not cross my life,
Then, this beautiful picture,
Would not exist to be a blessing,

To me and many others.
