So many people are going in all directions.

They’re scattered.

They’re frantic.

They’re never ending.

And they’re lost.

They have no peace.

They have no hope.

You pass them, consumed in your affairs, closing your deals, making your stash.

Never asking.

Never wondering.

Never even giving a glance.

Maybe if you stopped to see her…

Maybe if you paused to feel his pain…

Maybe, just maybe it would change their day.

Maybe it could turn them away from the ledge…

Money is not the answer. It’s only short lived.

Fame is not the solution. It changes with the wind.

They only need a hope that will bring life.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.

1 Peter 1:3-9
