FUTILITY AND HOPE

God applies two special principles;

They are to test and equip people.

God has subjected Man to futility;

But He has also promised eternity.

 

Life on earth includes suffering;

Pain and anguish are not nice feelings.

A sense of futility tends to arise;

Suffering is not useless sacrifice.

 

God offers Hope for eternity;

Suffering reminds us of mortality.

The challenge is to have Hope;

This can enable us to cope.

 

God offers a Home in heaven;

We need not aimlessly roam.

Faith and Hope work closely together;

These point us to focus on Life hereafter!
