The Hope You Already Have

I bless the hope that

Already lives in you!

Child of God,

You don’t have to send out

A search party, looking

For Hope—

Hope already dwells in you!

The “riches of the glory of

This mystery…

Is Christ in you,

The hope of glory.” (Col. 1:27, ESV)

Your hope isn’t

Hiding

In the distance

Playing coy.

Your hope is in Christ,

In you,

Abiding in your heart.

Every inkling of Christ’s presence

In your life,

Every prompting of the Spirit

In your spirit,

Points to the mystery—

Christ in you is the hope of glory.
