The rainbow after a
storm. A baby’s cry after the pain of childbirth. The first real smile after a
time of mourning. Healing after a battle with cancer. The unexpected hope of
Jesus. Life is full of surprises and miracles. Are you looking up with hope?
I have watched as Jesus
worked through times of depression, hopelessness, grief, loneliness and despair.
I have witnessed a deep and abiding joy in the lives of Christians through the
difficulties of life. There is unexpected hope of heaven just beyond the earth.
The unexpected love of a Savior. I pray we will witness the transformation of
those we love to witness the glory and light of life with Jesus. He changes
everything.
…to
bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of
mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They shall be
called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His
splendor. Isaiah 61;3
Allow Jesus to
bring hope to you. Praise Him even in the pits of despair. He will turn your
suffering into hope and bring joy after your mourning. The unexpected hope of
Jesus. He will lift you up.
Humble
yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due
time. 1 Peter 5:6
Jesus,
Bring unexpected hope to those in need. You will lift us up
when we need it most. We place our hearts and our hope with you forever.
Amen
