Hope from the Past
We all need
hope, don't we? Life is too difficult to face unless we have hope sprinkled
throughout this journey of life. That's why I write about hope.
I have a
series all about Hope. Hope for Tomorrow, Hope for the Journey, and Hope from
the Past. As we walk down this road, we face many obstacles. Sickness, death,
destruction, fear, failure. The list goes on and on. Throw in our past, and
sometimes, the guilt, the shame, and regret is just too much to bare.
But then,
God shines His light on us and we receive hope. Hope to deal with the sickness
or death we or our loved ones face. Hope that, though death may claim someone
dear to our hearts, we will see them again, and they are finally pain free.
Hope for the destruction we see in our troubled world because we know this
isn't all there is. One day, our world will be made new. Hope that God's
perfect love casts out our fear. Hope from the burden of guilt and shame and
yes, freedom from regret.
Hope from
the Past introduces us to Arthur Hendrickson, a man running from his past,
barely lives in the present, and wishes for his future to be over. Arthur meets
his neighbors, Luke and Brittany, and they embrace the older man. Through their
love and friendship, and that of Brittany's family, Arthur faces his past and
finds hope from the things he lived through.
What about
you? How have you experienced hope?
