Quote From: hisjewelThere is hope!! I know it doesn't seem like it but there is..... There is always a hope even when we can't see it. i know have a hard time holding on to that, we all do but hope never dies even if we think it does. It's one of those things that even if you think it is gone it's still there but you can't see it....... hmmmm yeah....... i'm guessing maybe your a christian since you said spiritually. The reason i can say this about hope is because one time when i thought i would never hope again God reminded me that He is Hope and when I lose hope i have forgotten who He is. I hate to hope for things but I just always remember whether I hope for things or not Hope is still alive because God is still alive and by ourside!! when i think of how i bellieve those things i often wonder how am i stuck here why am i like this what's my problem........ we can know, believe and ask for things but it's not untill we are willing and ready to accept/recieve those things that we will see....... It's not about seeing to believe but believing to see....... ya know........ it's just not easy!! it is so painful only some of us like myself hide from the pain as if it weren't there..... but still i know no matter how much i hide it doesn't just go away........... search your heart, what does your heart say..........
You have made some good points.
Spirituality does not necessarily mean "christian", though. Religion and spirituality, although often referred to as one, are very different things. There are many people who are spiritual, but do not believe in God or Jesus, and there are a lot of christians (and other religious people) who are not necessarily spiritual...although one could argue that by being a human precludes us to be spiritual beings, but now I'm way off topic.
