Losing Hope

Losing hope
is like giving up and quitting.
But only then it becomes hopeless.
Hope brings new strength
and the will to live.
and there will be hope for all.

Not all is lost,
unless you are lost.
So, never give up on yourself
and there will be hope for all.


Circumstance

Guided by providence
for one's own good.


Coincidence

Was it a coincidence
or a sign from God?
When you believe,
you will know the difference.


The Spirit

So listen to your heart
and the spirit of God
that lives within us,
instead of letting
ourselves be influenced
by outside forces and messages.
Live from within
and guard your spirit
against all outside forces,
for they are not of God,
but of this world.
