Ocean

Gambier RiverImage via Wikipedia

It is said that before a river falls into the ocean, it trembles from fear.  
It looks back to the whole journey:  the valleys, the mountains, the long 
and winding road through the forests, through the villages, 
and sees that the vast ocean ahead will only swallow it 
in order to disappear forever.  But there´s no other way.  
The river cannot go back.  
No one goes backward.  Going back is impossible in existence.  
Going ahead is the only way.  
The river needs to take risks and enter into the ocean.  
Only by doing so that fear disappears 
because only then will the river discover that it is not a matter 
of disappearing in the ocean but becoming an ocean itself.  
On the one hand, it is disappearance.  On the other hand, it is rebirth.  
That´s what we are.  We can only go on and take risks.  
Let´s be glad and courageous!  
God has created rivers and oceans.

Words of Hope for the Downtrodden

Messages of hope are passed on to help us live meaningfully and fully.  When you feel loved and know that you are loved unconditionally, know that there is always something that propels you to what you hope for.  You are not defined by your past or present or future;  not by your failures or successes; not by what you have been and by what you will have been.  They are fleeting, they drift away with time.  What you need is something or someone constant that goes beyond definitions, be they religious, spiritual or psychological.  Love is the soul of hope that God offers.  Hope is when you know deep within that the future opens bright no matter how dark it may seem at the moment.  Hope springs from a conviction that God fulfills his promises because God never fails even if you fail yourself, even if you fail God.
What has been your failure(s) in life?  Have no regrets, no fear!  Failure is a very important step to success.  All the heartaches, pains and wounds can purify and sanctify.  They give birth to hope. Go on my friend and don´t let your heart keep breaking!  There is always something to hope for and someone to hope in.
