I HAVE HOPE IN HEAVEN.

My hope is not in this world, but

in the world to come.

Therefore, any circumstance I may face

in this life is a mere shadow

which pales

in comparison to the hope of my future.

In Heaven,

I will no longer rebel against

the God I love.

And although I do rebel now,

which should pit me against

Christ (who was Pierced for me),

I am found to be perfect in His grace.

I stand as if righteous before God Almighty

Who created wonders of stars billions of miles away

and also the hands that form these letters.

God touched these hands!

It is He who defines me, He who clothes me, He who loves me.

In Christ’s radical grace I hope for the eternal joy of my future.
