Finding Hope
January 8, 2006Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, no matter how it turns out. ~ Disturbing the Peace, by Vaclav Havel
I like this quote. I will never be an optimist, but I do have hope. And loving God makes sense no matter how it all turns out.
I have been a bit depressed lately. It is not unusual for this time of year, but it came a little early. I have been told that I think over things too much. What people don't understand is that I often find great pleasure in turning over all the little bits and pieces of life. Whether they are bitter or sweet. Some things are quite heavy, though. Turning them over takes much more effort than one would first expect. I sometimes grow weary from the effort.
That is often when you don't hear much from me on this blog. It is not that I have nothing to say, it is that I am so very tired. Putting things into words that are fitting is no easy thing. I will try harder, though. Sometimes that is how something beautiful is born.
Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD.
Psalm 31:24
