Never Let Go of Hope

Because if you keep hope alive, it will keep you alive. ~Cassandra Clare

Never Let Go of Hope
Michaela Shelley

I once heard this quote from Spiderman that says “It’s easy to feel hopeful on a beautiful day like today, but there will be dark days ahead of us too, and there will be days where you feel all alone, and that’s when hope is needed the most, no matter how buried it gets, or how lost you feel, you must promise me, that you will hold on to hope. Keep it alive, we have to be greater than what we suffer. My wish for you, is to become hope, people need that, and even if we fail, what better way is there to live.”

In life I see this quote a lot; like how today is a good day and I am ready for whatever life throws at me. But there are also many bad days when I just can’t take all the pain anymore but I know God is far greater than my problems! Romans 15:13 shows us just that. “May God, the source of hope, fill you with joy and peace through your faith in Him. Then you will overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” So for now, we need to hold onto God because He is our one and only true hope.

Hope is important when it comes to Christianity, as it goes hand in hand with faith. When we have hope we believe things will work out for the better. It means we hold on because we know better days are coming! One bad day is only one bad day. Its 24 hours, 1,440 minutes, and 86,400 seconds. However, sometimes when these bad days come we don’t think there’s much hope and all we want is the answer to the question, “Is there hope?” The answer is yes there is hope. Humans can’t live without hope. Hope is the driving force that keeps us going. It’s just as important as food and water. Albus Dumbledore once told me “There is always hope in the darkest of times if one remembers to turn on the light.” Hope might be tricky to find, sometimes it’s as quiet as a whisper but other times it rings as loud as church bells. No matter how quiet or loud hope is it’s always there just like how God is always there for us.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
