Get Inspired – Have Hope
“God is Light and in Him there is no darkness at all.”
John 1:5
________________________________
Inside you, hope & love are alive
Maybe you don’t feel it right now . . .
Hope & love can hide behind
Walls of grief, shame, anger and resentments
You were born with love & hope
And it never dies
Inside you it wants to surface
Like drowning wants air
To feel your hope & love –
And begin to make it grow, do this:
Close your eyes. Find where this love lives in you
Is it in your heart, your chest, your hands, your chest, your eyes, or ears?
It may live in all of these places
What does it look like? What shape is it? What color is it?
How does it feel to touch it? Now step completely into this love
Moment by moment begin to feel at home in this environment
Become completely comfortable here – inside you,
where hope and love live
Now imagine sending some of this love to someone. Anyone . . .
Perhaps someone who is having a hard time,
someone you just know, or who you love
Imagine an actual portion of this hope and love
inside you leaving your body,
projected in a straight line to this person
Imagine that person being suddenly feeling delighted – and loved
Do you notice that sending out a portion of your hope and love
only makes the hope and love inside of you grow, become richer
and more active? More available for you – and others?
Feel this now – as the love and hope
you were born with grows,
and becomes more and more available
to you – and the world

The flaw is seen as a unique piece of the object’s history,
which adds to its beauty
Consider this when you feel broken”.

“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what he is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of – throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up the towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”
C.S. Lewis
