Hope

Isaiah 40:29-31-He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

It's a verse that has been playing through my mind since yesterday, when Rebecca and I dropped by Canaanland to take a look around. There, in Canaanland, was this cross with an eagle on it and these very meaningful verses.

Hope. Hope in the Lord when everything seems to go wrong, to seem bleak and to seem too hopeless. Sometimes, I look too much at myself, my weaknesses, my faults and how much I lack when compared to others. I'll never be good enough, strong enough, smart enough nor funny enough when compared to others. Not on my own strength anyway.

And when this happens, I seem like crap, never good enough for friends around me, getting depressed and all. But God has given me and you a way out. Hope in the Lord and you'll soar on wings like eagles. Cast your eyes upon God and not upon the scars that you've been through. After all, Paul mentioned setting our eyes upon the goal, the finishing line, even though it might cost the body

Everyone has been through some crap in life, it just depends on how you deal with what life throws at you. What's life without the local spices and salt? Help me focus on You even more God and soar like the eagle out there, above the troubles and the crap, but keeping my eyes up upon you. 

Amen~
