DONT LOST HOPE
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed
up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him,
hoping that somebody would pick him out in the island.
Every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. He almost lost hope. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions.
One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and everything was lost.
He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. His hope vanishes. He cried out, 'God! How could you do this to me?' I am always praying to you everyday hoping that you would rescue me. The man was discouraged and felt hopeless.
Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island! It had come to rescue him! 'How did you know I was here?' asked the weary man of his rescuers. 'We saw your smoke signal,' they replied.

My dear sisters and brothers good day, the
disciples in our gospel today had almost lost their hope for the only savior
that will save them had died. However, Jesus appeared in their midst and prove
to them that he had been raise from the dead. This act gives the disciples hope
to continue with their life.
As we consider our own singular and precious life, I hope
that our dreams are big enough. Don't let the world define your hopes.
Step back, and consider what you really want. Our gospel shows to us that there
is always hope in the midst of suffering. People will sometimes blame God in their
suffering but sometimes our suffering is a consequence of our own action. We make
our own suffering and yet we complain to God about it. My dear friends, if you have problems and if you are suffering, work for it and strive to get out of it. We have hope because Christ has been raise from the dead.
One of the most hopeful things you can do is to pray that God will fill you with the Holy Spirit. Open your heart and let God be present in your heart, in your journey towards a meaningful and hopeful life.
Like the story of the huts on Fire, It's
easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart,
we shouldn’t lost hope because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst
of pain and suffering.
Remember that the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God. There is always hope above everything, there is always God in our life. This is what we are hoping for - the grace of God in our life.
