A photo and quadrille of 44 words for dVerse poets on “sky” theme…
i desire to be
a prisoner of hope
captivated by love
learning to surrender
to ultimate good will;
transformed, renewed,
impassioned and freed
to serve, unreservedly, as
we await full redemption
when Jesus, our glorious
hope, returns in blazing
sky with power to reign!
“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. “
(Romans 5:1 & 2 NIV)

A “prisoner of hope” is apt. Thanks to Jesus, I am an optimist, even though I also have diagnosed depression. I can get really really down yet still find loveliness in nature, my friends, spiritual reading, poetry, etc.

He’s generous with his gifts to us, isn’t he?! He understands our weakness/disease too. God bless you, my friend!

This is absolutely beautiful! ❤️ It beats being surrounded by despair .. by gloominess.. yes let us be “prisoners of hope,” and serve others out of the goodness of our hearts. ❤️
