Helen Keller

Psalm 8:3-4
When I consider your heavens,
       the work of your fingers,
       the moon and the stars,
       which you have set in place,
 What is man that you are mindful of him,
       the son of man that you care for him?
Man is such a complex being. When you stop to think about every cell that makes up our bodies, or how conception creates a baby inside a woman’s womb it is hard to believe unless we have faith in an all knowing, all powerful God.

He created us in His likeness. He desires our love for Him. He placed inside of us a future and a hope and He wants us to be successful. What we choose to do with the hope and our future, God has allowed us to determine. He is with us all the way but we need to have faith in Him. Trust him and do not be afraid.

Helen Keller has every reason to be bitter about the life she had to endure with no sight, no sounds and no speech. But, she determined in her heart, that she too has a hope and a future. She became an author. She learned how to speak with her hands. Of all people she could have found an excuse for not doing anything and everything. But she did not stop. Below is a quote from this famous American.

No Pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit. -Helen Keller

Trust God and do not delay. Do not put off what you know you can do. For if you become pessimistic there may be an undiscovered cure, an unwritten novel, an undeveloped relationship or a missed opportunity.
