I Hope...............

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. -Henri Nouwen

I read this after reading a message on the regular board from a member *****cently had surgery and is suffering from severe depression. This poem keeps our negatives in perspective with positives....something she has lost. Pray for her today as I will..... luvitsunnyv

Hi, I just wanted to let you know I prayed for you friend with severe depression. I have been afflicted from time to time with depression. It is a cruel illiness to say the least. I pray that God binds the power of the enemy that is around her. By his authority, He has also given us authority to bind the enemy's power. Please keep us posted to how she is doing. I want to have her in my daily prayers. God Bless. In His love and mine, Debbie G.
