and it's just so much better...

If you are living without hope all you really need is a revelation.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

"The mountains my depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed," says the Lord, who has compassion on you."

This is the heritage of the children of the Lord.

We are filled with hopelessness when we look around at the world through our eyes, or the eyes of other humans in general. You have to want hope to find it. It's the easiest, hardest thing to find sometimes. It calls for trusting that God is good and wants good things to happen. Things like Joy in depressed, oppressed places. Like healing in cancerous cells. Like unity in communities and families. Leaders in business and the arts who have prophetic dreams.

Peace is our heritage. Joy is our inheritance. Healing is our right. God's vision is available.
