SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

February 27

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.  Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Romans 8:24-27

Hope is not hype; it is endurance with vision. Romans 8:24–27 (KJV) reminds us that what we see is not what sustains us, because real hope lives beyond the visible. Knowing Your Blindspots means admitting how quickly impatience can distort faith and make delay feel like denial. We wait not as the defeated, but as people anchored to a reality High And Lifted Up, where the Spirit intercedes when our words run out. For Black people who have learned to hold on between promise and manifestation, this passage honors the groan and dignifies the wait. The Spirit searches the heart and translates sighs into strategy before God. Let every generation stay steady in unseen hope, trusting that what is being formed in the waiting will outlast what is merely seen.
