Poetry and Prose: Hope Through Grace

by Jettie C. Hess

This morning I became disheartened with the great anxieties of the world, so I went to the Father and said, “Lord, the devil is getting the upper hand over us.” The moment I said it, I felt a sudden admonition, which seemed to say “Nevertheless do not be upset about it, but rather rejoice because your name is written in Heaven and your Father has given you everlasting consolation and good hope through grace.”

Establish your hearts, then, brothers and sisters!Be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.Things are not what they seem.Dark nights are but the prelude to bright days.The rain shall be followed by the clear shining.When the Truth of God retreats, she only retires to leap to a greater victory!Be not discouraged.Go to your God.Get away, each of you, from your circumstances and from yourselves and go to your Savior!And there like sheep in the pasture, lie down to feed.

Our love to God is like a trickling stream
Flowing back to its parent source …
By His victory we’ve overcome the world
And by His grace we stay our course.
