I Hope!
|
Posted By: Elder Lily Jenkins on October 25, 2008 I hope that I will always be for each person what he or she needs me to be. I hope that each person’s death will diminish me, but that fear of my own will never diminish my joy of life. I hope that my love for those whom I like will never lessen my love for those whom I do not. I hope that another person’s love for me will never be a measure of my love for him or her. I hope that everybody will accept me as I am, but that I never will. I hope that I will always ask for forgiveness from others, but will never need to be asked for my own . . . I hope that I will always recognize my limitations, but that I will construct none. I hope that loving will always be my goal, but that love will never be my idol. I hope that everyone will always have hope. -Henri Nouwen I read this poem and cried! This is ME! How many of you have hope like this?
