hope

So why do we keep trying…again and again and again
when it seems like every failure only magnifies the load?

It seems there would be a line
a period
a camel’s back
where we would say enough is enough…we’re done!

Yet because of You, I must confess, we never seem to reach that place.
I think it might be easier if we did. But we don’t.

We will keep walking the tightrope of hope…
without looking down.
Because I’m afraid that if we look down
we might actually fall into the pit.

And as much as I confess the possibility of Your healing is a reality…
There is a reality to the pit that seems much more in focus.
So Father, give us eyes that can see Your truth
for the lies are ever so loud.

So, again, we hope against hope in You, a sure thing…
being told Your hope doesn’t disappoint.
