I recently searched
through and perused some of my writings from years past. I realize that much of
my most prolific times of writing have come both during and after times of
great suffering. Suffering offers us hard-earned life lessons. Life throws so
much at us and as we go through the tough times, it can seem impossible to see
a way out, or to find a beacon of hope.
Jesus taught me the most valuable lessons through these times.
I learned to trust. I learned to hang on to hope. I relied on friends and
family in ways I might not have had things continued to be comfortable and
easy. We can carry each other’s burdens. And the God of hope travels along with
us, opening our eyes to spiritual truths, to an eternal perspective, to a life
beyond.
If you are navigating a time of trial, reach out to Jesus with
hope.
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for,
and assurance of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1
Jesus,
Thank You for the hope you bring to us and thank You for
celebrating with us through the joys of life and staying close by our side
through the difficult days. We can always find peace and hope when we trust in You.
Amen
