Unfulfilled Hope

Too often we hope for a change –
Scratching off lottery tickets, praying to our God, or voting for a president whose motto is change.
But really – is there such a thing? Or are we so obsessed and consumed in our own worlds, our own hopes, and own dreams to realize – nothing changes.
For what I see – everything and everyone is just the same, only in another time and place. Time is the only real change we can rely on – we will grow older, our hair will grow gray, and our children will one day move on. But can we change as people? Is it possible?
I like to believe and I like to have faith in the fact that maybe one day we will be worthy of the change – the change we long for, the change we yearn, and more than anything, the change we deserve.
And that maybe with time we can all find a better world and a better human race that will thrive on hospitality and warmth and compassion.
God teaches us to believe in people and the human race as a whole – for its possibility to be forgiven and one’s ability to yes, change. But can it happen? Is it attainable? And after so much hardship and praying – are we capable of change?
If you know how... please share.

  1. Change is definitely possible...but only if we want it, and with God's help. The catalyst has to be an open heart and willingness to change with the realization that we are all human and may have setbacks, but God can restore us and allow us to continue becoming better...
    Keep writing. Expression is important for restoration...
