Father, you are with me and show me every kindness. How reassuring it is to know that you are with me and you will sustain me at all times.
How devastating it is to have our hopes raised and then dashed. It is such a painful thing; to be stripped of the very thing that we are clinging to. The very thing that was sustaining us. When that hope is stripped away, what is left?
All that we have is you.
You are our only hope.
A hope that does not disappoint.
There is nothing that can strip that hope. You are with us and that is a certain hope.
Lord, I cannot thank you enough for remaining with me when I cast you aside years ago. Lord, thank you for remaining with me. Thanks for pursuing me. Help me to remain ever aware of the hope I have in you. There is no hope more certain than that. A hope that does not disappoint.
