Way to hope

As we look at the incidents happening around us, it warns us that we are living in a hopeless world, where a child do not have hope that he will return from his school to home safely, a girl is not sure whether she can return to home safely, anything may happen to us within a blink of our eyes without even knowing that a disaster is awaiting ahead of us. So it is hope and security for the future that we are all searching and daunting for. Different people are trying to attain it through different channels, some may be searching for it around themselves in the world, some within themselves. Whatever may the channel, the true and genuine search for that hope will take us to the culmination of jesus on the cross, who can give us not only hope for the future but also the real meaning to our life. Malcolm Muggridge, an English journalist and author, who was an agnostic for most of his life attained so much of fame, pleasures and money in his life and told these verses by the end of his life.
"I may, I suppose, regard myself, or pass for being, as a relatively successful man. People occasionally stare at me in the streets-that's fame. I can fairly easily earn enough to qualify for admission to the higher slopes of the internal revenue-that's success. Furnished with money and a little fame even the elderly, if they care to may partake of trendy diversions- that's pleasure. It might happen once in a while that something I said or wrote was sufficiently heeded for me to persuade myself that it represented a serious impact on our time- that's fulfillment. Yet I say to you and I beg you to believe me- multiply these tiny triumphs by a million, add them all together and they are nothing - less than nothing, a positive impediment - measured against one draught of that living water christ offers to the spiritually thirsty, irrespective of who or what they are."
