One thing to never give up on:: Hope

There was a time in my life when I had no direction, I didn't know my purpose and I was frightened and scared senseless. I didn't know what I was afraid of, I was only afraid. Maybe it was failure maybe it was never being loved. And this was ignorant because if only I allowed Christ into my life then I would be comforted by the fact that I was neither. I wasn't a failure nor was I not loved. One thing that I think many people do not strive or cling onto enough is hope. 

Despair lingers in the air waiting for its moment to latch onto us like a leech. And once we are in despair in any situation it always slithers it's way back into our mind. 

Despair is like poison.

we do not recognize the severity of it but it sucks joy and life out of us. 

In hope, we know there will always be something for us, Christ's love. 

In despair, it is as if we have walked into our very own black hole that is impossible to get out of. 

We fall and fall deeper into these negative thoughts and our thoughts become our actions and soon we become lethargic because we believe we are good for nothing.

Granted, I am not promoting that we will be always happy, joyful and filled with hope or reason in life but in Christ's love we can turn to always and know that our life has purpose and meaning.

The thing is that, in this world it is difficult to hear the comforting whispers of God.

With society screaming into our ear, silence is hardly ever experienced. ( I'll go deeper into this in another article)

In the world's eyes, your purpose in life is somewhere along the lines of working, being known, making your mark on this earth, being loved by all, successful, achieve something great, etc. 

Yet if in the process of achieving this,we fail it is as if the whole world is falling apart, we go through an emotional tornado, lose our direction our purpose and all seems lost. 

Our anchor is on Christ, on the cross so we find all we need. Our purpose, our worth, our love, our everything.

One glance at the cross it might change your entire life.
