Your Life Is A Gift. Before Anything

You're Here, You're Breathing, You Are The Recipient Of An Extraordinary Act Of Generosity Called Life.

Hope. People Want Hope. We Crave Hope. We Long For Hope. Hope Has Been Present Since The Very Beginning. And Almost In The Worst Situations Of Human History, You Often Find The Greatest Amount Of Hope. The Very Nature Of The Situation, The Way Stepped-on People Created Within Them Even More Hope Than When Things Were Going Fine. Hope Has Always Been Around.

How Could That God Ever Be Good; How Could That God Ever Be Trusted? And How Could That Ever Be Good News.
