A Friend's Encouragement

[davidsaw]

Though life is unpredictable,
Though people hurt each other,
Though lives are lost everyday,
Though evil men prosper,
Though people live as strangers,
just know that you are a friend
who made my world glimmer
with hope of better things to come. -- RY

cf.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom,
neither shall fruit be in the vines;
the labour of the olive shall fail/lie,
and the fields shall yield no meat;
the flock shall be cut off from the fold,
and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Yet will I rejoice in the LORD/YHWH,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
The LORD/YHWH God is my strength,
and he will make my feet like hinds' feet,
and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.
To the chief singer
on my stringed instruments/Neginoth. -- Habakkuk 3:17-19
