It's an Irresistible Revolution. It's something that is so pressing, so exhilarating, so reviving. We can't resist it; we can't elude it. But there is one (small) problem.
We'll look crazy and insane.
We will be a fish swimming up stream, against the overwhelming current. There will be those who look at us and shun us, throwing us off as if we are trash that shouldn't be given a second thought. There will be those who physically try to resist us. They might threaten us through interegation or physical abuse. They might turn us in to the authorities, grasping for an excuse to put an end to this unendable persuasion. But it will not end no matter what they try. It will take over the world. It's an Irresistible Revolution.
It's HOPE.
HOPE is something that we not only have faith will happen, we act as if it's going to happen. We know what the future holds, therefore we need not have any fear. We stand tall in the HOPE of this irresistible revolution, knowing that with God on our side, nothing can stand in our way. No matter how bleak the future might seem, we KNOW that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Intead of cringing at the face of suffering, we embrace it, because we have not only a outstanding hope for ourselves, we have the ability to share it with everyone we come in contact with, be it a stranger on the street or the person who is threatening, discouraging, and abusing us.
Hope starts with us. It wells up inside our hearts until it bursts out, like a rushing river, engulfing our family, our friends, our city, our country, and our world. It's beyond ourselves- we can't control it. Are we crazy for having that much hope? I doubt it. Maybe...just maybe the world is crazy for NOT having it.
It's HOPE. Are you going to embrace it?
