"Choose Ye Faith and Hope"
Life has really been good to and for some people and not so good to and for others, but the bad can be changed at any time when faith and hope are in the picture. So very often in this world today, there are those who tend to find themselves on the outside looking in per se. It is almost like one who has their face pressed against the outside of a window trying to see what is happening on the inside as if they are missing out on some wonderful festivities. Those who have faith and hope do not have to be concerned with such things, because they are invited in no matter what anyone says. Much too often in this world as well, too many people end up being left out of the picture because of fear and despair, when the only thing there is to fear is whatever they have conjured up in their minds, and there is absolutely no reason for them to do so.
As you live your life, therefore, do so with faith and hope being part of the main ingredients, which are great ingredients for living a fruitful life. Those whose lives are devoid of faith and hope as main ingredients will often find themselves in the group who are on the outside looking in at all of the festivities that are taking place. Some who might be on the outside now do not have to remain that way forever because, in life, anything can change at any time so to speak. Life always has its ups and downs of course, but in either case, things do not have to remain that way. There are blessings and curses also at work, and which one is at work in a person's life depends a great deal upon what a person believes in their heart. Once again, a lot depends on whether or not faith and hope will be your guiding light, in and through JESUS CHRIST your Lord and Savior.
AMEN
