“because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. You have heard of this hope before in the word of the truth, the gospel that has come to you. Just as it is bearing fruit and growing in the whole world, so it has been bearing fruit among yourselves from the day you heard it and truly comprehended the grace of God.” Colossians 1:5-6

let us

not only hear

of your hope,

but plant it

in the lives of others,

watering it with

our tears,

warming it with

our love,

keeping the weeds

of despair from

choking it off,

because . . .
