When a person reaches the ultimate stage of dismal or hopelessness or contemplating no one in the world would do any good to help or even listen. He or she would come to the last resort; to end everything including its life. This seems it is the simplest solution and bothers nobody !
But in such a condition, in this very flash second God might awaken this person in this critical moment: Is this the only solution for my problem? When this very moment stops, things begin to turn up randomly and crazy ideas bubble out of one’s mind. The second thing he may consider that he fortunately was being hesitant about to commit something which would be irreversible and regrettable. Silence and peace will surge in his mind gradually.
At this moment, God had reached him or her in that dark moment, infusing with a hope that could only be supernatural. The apostle Paul wrote often about such hope. In Ephesians he noted that, before knowing Christ, each of us is “dead in our transgressions and sins . . . . without hope and without God in the world” (2:1, 12). But “God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead” (vv. 4–5).
This world tries to drag us into the depths, but there’s no reason to succumb to despair and hopelessness. It became clear to us that there was no darkness, only the possibility of losing sight of a light which shone eternally.
Father, you’re the source of all our genuine hope. Fill us with Your light and joy.
