How do we participate in hope?
Simply Lent - 12
“All I know for sure is that anticipatory hope is not enough anymore,
participatory hope is the only kind that will work now.”
We are careful at this point. Careful to do no harm. Careful to find creative ways to express our concern toward people, so important, and so vulnerable. People who we cannot touch or even be near.
We are in a season aching for hope. We have stretched beyond our limits searching to find the thin spaces where hope shines into the future.
This is not passive longing. The hope we seek is waiting to be discovered through our willingness, and ability to engage in the world before us.
No one dares describe it easy to follow hope’s path. But we are all stirred by our connection to one another.
May our lives reflect hope so that peace can grow to cover the earth.
