And his name will be the hope of all the world.
Matthew 12:21, NLT*
Think about this verse. Isn’t it beautiful? Doesn’t it cause a quiet peace to well up inside? His Name—Jesus—will be the hope of the whole world.
In your busyness and life circumstances, good or bad…
In your relationships, sweet or strained…
I pray you’ll sense His nearness, His gentle hand cradling you, and His love lighting your heart. Because of Jesus, we have hope.
May your Christmas season bring at least one new treasured memory, and may you be blessed to be a blessing.
