I googled the Faith, Love, Hope and Charity for Images...
 
It struck me that Hope and Charity had so few graphic or pictoral representations while Faith and, of course, Love had so many.
 
I think that Hope and Charity are trully invisible.
 
Hope - one either receives or experiences - it can be gifted to another
 
Charity - an act of will to others with possibly different intentions - one receives with different effects
 
Neither Hope nor Charity is aptly represented in graphics or photos / possibly because they are either:
1.    difficult to represent
2.    not considered a viable subject - not as much as Faith and Love
 
One might think that our world focuses more on Faith and Love because these are easy concepts to relate to, while Hope and Charity are, possibly, uncomfortable to deal with.
 
What would our day (week) be like without hope and charity?
What would our lives of faith and love be like without hope and charity?
How would Christ's Life - Death - Resurrection have played out without hope and charity?
 
If you encounter a stranger that you cannot relate to - what gifts could you give in a quick moment - before you part ways forever?
 
Christ's love, manifested by the charity of His blessings and grace, strengthen our faith and hope, that we continue to change this world.

I've got Hyper Static Union on Rhapsody.  Lifegiver is playing in my earbuds and I'm thinking about how music ministry has given my spiritual journey such a jump start.  When I listen to some Spirit music, I almost always connect with the energy and the inspiration that comes through the music.  Each recording is a captured Spirit event.  One can even get beyond the post production elements to the heart of the words and the melody.  Imagine when these first hit whoever was in the Spirit at the time.

When I am tagged by the Holy Spirit there is an instant ...<< MORE >>
