I place it in circumstances. I hope that my life is easy, not challenging, happy and life-giving.
Hope in my Savior? Do I really believe with all my being that you have saved me from myself, from sin, from eternal damnation and separation from you? Do I place my hope in you? knowing that You are YOU, know what You're doing, who You're being, who You're loving, who You're with?
I confess that I've been hoping for good circumstances, and not for You to come, Lord, to be here and to live out in my life and into the lives of others, for your kingdom to come, to be here now, to spread throughout the world that it's not just for me but for everyone. for the kids in Peru, for the ones in Richmond, in Fredericksburg, my friends from home, family, people I've never met, broken people, tall people, hated people, sexually promiscuous people, Asian people, Buddhist people, lovers and haters of God of war or violence of love of patience of addictions of pleasure of all of it, and sometimes everything that isn't You.
more simply, they're all Your children. Do I see that?
