Is there hope in this world?

Today, went over to Gek Teng's place after lunch to watch show and take the 2nd volume of VCD from her as she has watched finished. The show I watched with Gek Teng was called,"Murder at the door." It is about a serial killer who kills pretty girls in a special way and it is about a woman who has set up a perfect family and be a great mother, but in the end, she found out that the murderer is actually her son.

This show makes me think about having kids and setting up a family. Every parents' wish is for the kids to be righteous and good kids, but what if in the end, your kids do not end up the way you want them to end up? Parents may be so loving and supportive, but sometimes, I feel it is very hard to control their thinking and how they will turn out to be.

There is a lot of hopelessness in this world when things like this happen or even the train accident that happened to my family..but I am just so glad I have a God who gives hope. It is like walking in a desert for days with no water, and suddenly you see a pond of fresh water, or in a garden with dead leaves and all of a sudden, you see a nice blooming flower. There is hope and peace with God and I am very assured of my future. Question is..are you assured of yours?
