There’s always HOPE

Imagine the world before Jesus was born.

I can’t imagine a world with out the ability to have a personal relationship with him.

As the celebration of his birth approaches there are a million things running through my mind, a million uncertainties so many unknowns that should worry and scare me. But the one constant is Jesus and my trust in him.

I am beyond grateful that no matter what happens in life the he is always there for me. No matter what I know that he has me. He will take care of my every need, worry and concern.

How do I know this? Because he’s done it before countless times. And I know he will again.

So no matter your thoughts. Thank Jesus for who is he.

Because we can always find hope in him. Just like when its hard to see because the skies are grey and cloudy and the outlook looks bleak. But when the sun comes out and sheds light on things. We can see the beauty where we may have missed it before.

Jesus is the light of the world, look for him to change your perspective.

Forgiveness changes us

Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel”

(which means, God with us). When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

Matthew 1:18-25

God’s way and our ways can be very different. We may think one thing is the logical choice but God may have more going on in the background then we realize.

Logically Joseph should of divorced Mary, even by their own laws. But God had a different plan. He started Jesus family with forgiveness.

We may not always understand or want to do what God asks of us but if we follow his plan he will provide a life that we can’t even imagine.
