“For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, ‘In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength.’ But you were unwilling…Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you.

stress
hard pressed
fire’s hot test
find release valve

live each day with enthusiasm
clinging to hope, you will not crash and burn

hope smells
like fresh petrichor

of swan o’er autumn field
hope feels
like flickering flame
of log in winter hearth
