TOTD, March 30 – Hope in Him

Hope in Him

I’ve tried to put my hope on others

But it seems that nobody will be able

To give the pure joy to everyone

Human – with its limitations –

will not be able to please even their most loved ones in everything.

Only to You, God…

I want to put my hope and trust…

As new morning comes…

I know that I can put my hope in You

For great is Your faithfulness in our life. (-fon-)

Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
²³ They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
²⁴ “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I hope in Him!”

--- Lamentations 3:22-24

Berharap kepada-Nya

Aku pernah menaruh harapan kepada orang lain

Tetapi agaknya tak ada seorang pun yang mampu

Memberikan sukacita sejati kepada setiap orang

Manusia – dengan keterbatasannya-

Takkan mampu menyenangkan bahkan orang-orang yang dikasihinya dalam segala hal.

Hanya kepada-Mu, Tuhan…

Kuingin meletakkan harapan dan kepercayaanku

Sebagaimana pagi yang baru menyapa…

Kutahu, aku bisa berharap pada-Mu

Karena sungguh besar setia-Mu di dalam hidup kami. (-fon-)

Tak berkesudahan kasih setia TUHAN, tak habis-habisnya rahmat-Nya, selalu baru tiap pagi; besar kesetiaan-Mu! "TUHAN adalah bagianku," kata jiwaku, oleh sebab itu aku berharap kepada-Nya.

--- Ratapan 3:22-24
