I Hope

-Henri Nouwen
I hope that I will always be for each person
what he or she needs me to be.
I hope that each person’s death will diminish me,
but that fear of my own will never diminish my joy of life.
I hope that my love for those whom I like will never lessen
my love for those whom I do not.
I hope that another person’s love for me will never
be a measure of my love for him or her.
I hope that everybody will accept me as I am,
but that I never will.
I hope that I will always ask for forgiveness from others,
but will never need to be asked for my own . . .
I hope that I will always recognize my limitations,
but that I will construct none.
I hope that loving will always be my goal,
but that love will never be my idol.
I hope that everyone will always have hope.

Life is full of surprises and even disappointment,
We sometimes fall into our own entrapment.
We’re being blinded and turned down by all of these trials and usually fall into resentment.
But barely did we realize that it is for our own sake and miraculously creates ‘refinement’.
Though it is true that life really is awful and quite unbearable,
Sometimes it’s really adamant to manage a life that is miserable.
But we shouldn’t neglect to be thankful to Him who surely knows it all.
And we should strive hard to long for His presence and continually be faithful.
Though no one can say that life could be easy,
We should also not mistake it as an enemy.
Instead we should treat it with meek heart to Him and real sincerity.
For if we would just believe in Him,our lives would be happy till eternity.
So whatever might happen in our life’s pilgrimage,
Let’s just be sure that we don’t lose our hope and try to be free form our own rage’s cage.
For surely despite the typhoons of our lives the rainbow will shine.
He makes sure it shines brightly and everything will be fine.
