Thought of the day

"I've never been an optimist. I am a prisoner of hope, which is different." -Desmond Tutu

"Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double" Zechariah 9:12

To be a prisoner of Hope is to be chained to the only force which is able to make positive use of your fallen parts. To be a prisoner of Hope is what gets you out of bed in the morning. To be a prisoner of Hope is the silver lining in an otherwise lost battle.

"Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." - Desmond Tutu

"Does He who fashioned the ear not hear? Does He who made the eye not see?" -Psalm 94:9

Sometimes in life, you learn that trying your best just isn't good enough and you have to learn to try a little harder than what you had considered your best. This moment is one of both hope and melancholy. A true opportunity for growth.
