An Infinite Hope
written at Friday, June 19, 2009
Martin Luther King Jr said, "
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."
How true is this statement? So many circumstances and situations where I have looked for something, worked towards something or aimed for that something, whether it be for my own selflish or selfless reasons, some way or another, they disappoint at times. There will always be disappointments, for you guys reading this, it may be in other things.
But I encourage all of you, and as exactly what Luther said, this disappointment will just seem so trivial and small in the light of the wonderful hope that we have ultimately, in Christ Jesus. Lets never lose this infinite hope that we have.

Knowing
What matters supremely, therefore, is not
in the last analysis, the fact that I know God,
but the larger fact which underlies it --
the fact that He knows me.
