Electric Hope
”The openings of light will fill my soul, and mind, as I obey and enter the corridor of plenty. The offer has deemed me a grantor of His resilience. The making of the most blessed has gained an applause for me. The hierarchy of dissemblers is my counter, but neither do they remember the grace that God has for me. I render those onlookers to their desires for me as a mirrored image for their self scope and self efficacy. They shall grasp my challenge. Sticking to the One who persuades men for me, is to hope on that Lively Hope”.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1:3
