From
Despondency to Hope
Trusting in
our own ways, we plan and scheme.
Filled with self-gloating and rejoicing,
we daydream.
Given to self-centered,
appealing choices, we squander.
Reaping what was sown, the mind begins
to wander.
Wallowing in regret and
remorse, our choices we ponder.
Reaping a life governed by self, we
stand demoralized.
Caught in
self-loathing, repercussions come our
way.
Disenchanted, the soul weighed
down in regret, we fret.
In
depression, anxiety, and suicidal
thoughts, we dismay.
Giving into the
bitterness of the moment, we cry for
relief.
Caught in webs of
hopelessness, we look for a ray of
light.
In the distance, a light
beckons for further exploration.
Intrigued, a glimmer of hope penetrates
areas unknown.
As the light
penetrates, despair begins to dissolve.
Lifted from despair, heartened by the
light, hope resolves.
Heartened
and hopeful, we immerse ourselves in the
light.
Looking for new direction, we
readily discard old mindsets.
As
light penetrates areas of the heart, a
gentle voice beckons.
Becoming
clearer, the voice beckons to the
invisible glimpsed.
Excitement taking
over, weights lift with new perceptions.
Discovering an invisible kingdom, we
give ourselves freely.
The voice
revealed as the kingdom's King, we
follow readily.
No longer filled with
fear, hate, and suicidal thoughts, we
press.
Filled with new purposes, new
strategies, we envision.
The heart
fully engaged, we commit to His ways and
decisions.
Choices, now governed
by kingdom perspectives, we thrive.
Enhanced by fresh revelation, taken into
deeper realms, we dive.
Guided by
wisdom, kingdom choices produce peaceful
solutions.
Given our mission and
purpose, we delight in all that's
gained.
As hope fills, we no longer
wander, disenchanted with life.
Peace, I
leave with you, My peace I give to you;
not as the world gives do I give to you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither
let it be afraid.
John 14:27
