Whispering Hope

We are looking forward to God's promise of new heavens and a new earth afterwards,where there will be only goodness.-- 2 Peter 3:13 (LB)

O dear God, "Where there will be only goodness."

After centuries of war, greed, and lust.
After indulgences shamelessly practiced

After hatred, hostility, jealousy and abuse.

Murder and martyrdom, crime

and cruelty, curses and rebellion.

After whimpering cries from starving children

After tragedy and catastrophe

Loneliness and despair

At last... at long last"There will be only goodness.

"O dear Lord Your promise is Your guarantee

But please hurry a little!
