Hope's Thread Across the Centuries Acres of Hope

Sometimes the threads of our lives feel a little frayed, and the only way to feel wrapped up again is to be enveloped in hope. 

The Apostle Paul talks a lot about hope in his letter to the Romans. He writes to them: "Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience." Romans 8:24

Inspired by his words of hope, I wrote a letter to the Apostle Paul and to the Roman church and read them aloud in the Jewish quarter on Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) on a recent trip to Italy. 

I wanted to commemorate my time in Rome like Paul would have - with a letter. 

This episode is the reading of my letters; first to Paul, and then to the Roman church.

Let's cling to what Paul teaches us about hope. To hope in Jesus because He is sure. 

When we focus our eyes on Him and His unending, incomparable love for us, our hope spans acres that have no end.
