Week 1 – Advent – November 28, 2011

Hope?

Do I choose to engage

in hope,

Or do I detach

and avoid?

I fear the pain and devastation

of hope unmet.

Can I enter into longing?

Can I trust that it will be for an end?

Lord, help my unbelief.

Awake – and risk.

Awake – and trust.

Awake – and open.

Awake – and be.
