Disparity

I begin to really see the disparity [despair-ity]

working at Metropolitan Ministries
living at poverty level financially
unemployment
no healthcare

This.world.has.NOTHING.to.offer.but.

false hope

Obama can't save us.
Money and jobs won't save us.
Religion won't save us.

I've seen and experienced so much despair in my short life.

[then Hope came dancing out of the rafters]

& I was saved.

Given life.

[for the 82nd time]

Sometimes I look back at all the stuff I've done--the bad choices, the sin, the grief I put myself through...

...all because I wanted my way over God's way.

The worst punishment God could give us is to let us go our own way.

He gives Life, and that more abundantly.

Hope--real Hope--is only found in Jesus.
Love--real Love--is only found in Jesus.

Disparity becomes a choice.

my old life vs. my new life

sin vs. redemption

light vs. darkness

death vs. life


I choose Hope.
I choose Life.
