days like today i feel hope slipping.
hope that humanity can be redeemed
hope that we will learn to love the way we were created to
i don't believe that our redeemer will fail us
rather i fear we will refuse his redemption
and not because we don't want it but because
we are to often entangled in the things that bring immediate fulfillment
we sacrifice the future for the moment
we refuse to invest in relationships that don't bring us some sort of instant satisfaction
but i think of my sister
and the lady yesterday
and the people i share life with
and i find
hope is present
