Anchor

Today has been a day of reflection,

I've been tossing around in my mind the concept of hope:

What hope looks like, and why we should have it.

It's is so necessary for us, as humans, to see the essentiality of hope. 

It is the anchor of our souls, without hope we are as lost as a ship at sea (this sensation isn't new to me).  Hopelessness makes us sick, 

I haven't had hope when I needed it, and have suffered the consequences of trying to get through trials by relying on my brand of strength. A flawed concept; thinking that I may persevere by the power of my own hand, impossible. 

Have hope, have heart, our trials are only temporary.
