DAY 23 — THE GIFT OF HOPE




What I am reminded of today, in a brilliant rainbow of hope, is that the Gospel is true today. It speaks to my present reality. The Good News is good. It’s lasting. It’s hope. It’s peace. It’s joy. It’s love. It’s for the desert and the mountain. It’s for the brightest of days and the darkest of nights. Our Sovereign God of all things... loved...so abundantly, so extravagantly, so patiently and all of creation exists to sing the song and tell the story. And when we deny or when we forget, God tells it and retells it. Because it breathes life into a weary world. Because God is love. It takes all the systems we’ve constructed in our delusion that we’re god and deconstructs them and leaves us with...grace. The biblical narrative declares the hope that we ache for: The darkness is strong. But God is stronger.
