There Is Hope (Letter)

There is a hope.

There is a hope from all the wickedness in this world.

In a world full of war, killing, racism, starvation, tyranny, oppression, and so much more,

it is nearly impossible to see the good,

but I say nearly.

There is hope for those who have no hope: those who are dying from bombs, and those who are not, are dying of persecution.

They live under tyranny.

They are told to pick up a gun, abandon their faith or die. 

Still their is hope for them. They have a new heaven to look forward to where there will be no more crying or no more sadness.

The sky filled with black smoke that they are used to will always be blue, and their houses that were bombed will be replaced by new mansions.

There is hope for the young men being gunned down in the streets and outside of schools: those same young men who will pick a reason to justify themselves for selling drugs.

Thirteen year old children are dying in retaliation because that same child thought that the only way to be accepted was through murder.

Yet we come up with excuses and blame the income of the neighborhood, we blame the father, and we come up with silly phrases such as, 'it takes a village to raise a child'.

Instead of excuses we need to pray for our young men.

We must pray that those young men realize that hope, and receive Christ Jesus in their hearts.

As I turn on the news or look at social media, and see the racism and hatred people have towards one another, I know that their is hope.

In a country that has been plagued by racism since this new world was found I am confused.

I am confused because I do not know the reason for such hatred, or if there is a reason that they do not wish to get rid of it. It is a hinderence. I see conferate flags hanging from houses and trucks. I have witnessed young black men beat up another man just because he was white.

It is easy to say, 'The U.S.', 'The U.S.A.', or 'America', but it is hard to say United.

Yet there is still hope.

Through Christ Jesus we need to get rid of that hate. We must start taking responsibility for our own actions, and stop blaming it on others.

As tomorrow comes, so much will have happened, and yet in the end there will be a new Heaven and a new earth.

The Lord will return, and take back those who believed, and had faith in him.
