Transition to healing

STEVE GRAHAM, MANAGING EDITOR

"This can't go on forever." That was actually my message of hope one day, when everything was going wrong. It doesn't sound like much now. But a basic conviction that sooner or later something progressive just had to move things in my life off dead center was enough to let a shaft of light shine through the mental clouds.

But real hope means much more than just setting on a vague idea that things are going to get better.

When sought on the basis that a loving God is nurturing our progress, our hopes surpass the level of mere optimism and become solid ground on which to rest—if only for a moment—in the ascent to inspiration and healing. Because it is anchored in God, this brand of hope isn't at the mercy of fluctuating human circumstances.
