Hope Is Greater Than Fear

(July 28, 2020)

I must remember that hope is greater than fear. For every one that desires the harm of another, there is also one who desires their protection. For every one that believes the first word on the street, there is also a critical thinker challenging it behind closed doors. For every one who schemes to take advantage of the lowly, there is one who wishes to support them in their growth and rise to glory. For every one who spreads lies for their own gain, there is also one who will seek truth even at their own loss.  And with each yelling match witnessed in media, there are also constructive conversations happening between loved ones in homes.

I do not trust the hearts of man, and yet, I trust the hearts of man. 

With every group of sheep that starts being swept away, hope still remains; sheep can think for themselves, and there are some who hear a voice of challenge and questioning. For there is always a discussion happening in the unseen, an inner dialogue within the minds of every man, between himself and himself—heart and mind. And God is also found there, and He, a part of the conversation.

The race of man is never entirely lost. Hope is greater than fear. 

But hope stays alive in our hearts only as long as we choose to have it.
