Lord Jesus, You are our “hope of glory.” Peace and contentment are the byproducts of having a life centered on You. The joy of personally knowing that You live within us is a strength like none other, but life wasn’t always like this. This broken world is cruel. No one is exempt from the physical and emotional pains this world brings. Many know the heartbreak, the darkness when hope dies. Despair moves in and our carnal nature rules our actions. It can be a most pitiful existence, yet it Is under these circumstances that You reach out to us. A spark of hope rises as we see You Jesus in a different light. We realize You’re not angry at our life choices, You’re not enraged because we foolishly look everywhere for meaning except looking to You. You have been patiently waiting on us to make our move. Our response to Your invitation to follow You has given us new life. The Apostle Paul described this transformation from living in darkness to moving into living in the light. “For God wanted them [you] to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing His glory” Colossians 1:27.
Jesus, You are my “hope of glory!” Amen!
THANKFUL
