Guiding Light

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"

Jeremiah 29:11

This is one of my favorite verses that always comes to mind when the future starts to feel uncertain or unclear. And it is entirely true. All I know that has come into my life, making it full of goodness and joy, has come from trusting that still, small voice - a voice that can only be heard when we allow our hearts and our minds to be quiet, rest, and listen for it. 

All shall be made right. Every day has a bit of hope in it, a bit of light to guide us along the right path. We will not be led astray.

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,

I love you directly without problems or pride;

I love you like this because I don't know any other way to love,

except in this form in which I am not nor are you,

so close that your hand upon my chest is mine,

so close that your eyes close with my dreams."

- Sonnet XVIII Pablo Neruda

Sometimes my words aren't enough.  These are all wonderful in their own way, but the sonnet is my favorite, I think.  I love you.
