Today’s scripture: Romans 8:24-25 (NRSV) (The Message) (KJV) What might God be saying to me?
My thoughts (Michael Landon):
I have lived with chronic health issues for over 20 years, but everything came crashing in on me in 2009. After three major surgeries and more procedures than I care to remember, I began a new journey of healing. Early last year my journey took a new direction when it was discovered that I had been misdiagnosed and that the underlying cause of a number of issues was finally identified. My doctor then asked me to write a poem about hope, because I needed to start claiming and living in God’s hope:
Hope
Often Unseen
Gifting Deep Mystery
Continuously Perseveres
Love
Hope
Springs Eternal
Deep Within God
Soul Nourishing
Life
Hope
Listens Carefully
Sees All Possibilities
Continues On
Faith
Hope
Love’s Gift
Spirit’s Breath Within
New Life
Wholeness
Hope
Sacred Presence
In The Moment
Prayerful Trust
Peace
Hope
Deep Sighs
Spirit’s Love Hovering
New Possibilities
Healing
Having Our Peace Eternally
Thought for the day: How do you experience hope in your life?
