I am beset with the words “optimism and Faith”.  To be optimistic is to look at the bright side of things, whatever they are.  Optimism is a word that has many meanings.  When we lose or misplace something, we are “optimistic” about finding it.  In a situation that causes us to look at the negative, we still find the strength and optimism in our search for understanding. 

How do we stay optimistic in time of struggle and sadness?  The greatest balm for rising above the obvious comes when we have “Faith”.  Faith travels from one to another. 

“It is there if we want it, never hidden from view,  Though we falter and fall, offers hope anew”.

It is there, if we seek it, to climb uncomfortable stairs, If our trust is unwavering, it conquers our fears.  There is Faith.

  A strong  Faith makes us feel optimistic in times of adversity and pain.  A  faith-filled young lady told me, that,” God gives her the words when she has nothing to say”.  That’s Faith.

It is there if we live it, without reservations accept, endure pain with patience and honor is kept,  It is there, within us if we convey it to others, this assurance from God, and belief in our brothers.  Faith is there! 

Out of it, we know that God is in control and is loving us.  Optimism tells us to walk those uncomfortable stairs.  We may falter, but with Faith we know the lost can be found, if we fall, it will pick us up.  The adversity can be cured.  The angels of God come to us and raise us up by the strength of their wings and we see the Light of hope burn brightly and Faith is there.

Let us strive to gain optimism through our Faith, for Faith is when we “believe” without “seeing”, we love unconditionally, and we reach to the Heavens for consolation.  May your life experience this strength from Faith in God and those in whom you see God.  If you are going through adversity as I am at this time, read my words. ” God gave them to me when I had nothing to say.”

I have Faith that each and everyone of you who read this blog and are experiencing a difficulty of some kind, can be optimistic because of that strong Faith in God you have been acquiring.  Pray as you never have prayed before and then, be silent.  God will respond.  He loves us all.
