Hope

God is still at work amidst darkness.

Christmas feels decidedly unmerry when our emotions don’t align with truth.

Sometimes God sends prophets. God sent me a dog.

We can’t always see the light when we are in the dark. But the light can always see us.

Left to our own ruminations, it is hard to see Jesus’ light.

A lesson from plants on our need to bend toward the light.

Without acknowledging our grief, we won’t experience the deep comfort of releasing our sorrows to the suffering Savior

Joni Eareckson Tada’s Advent reflection on this dark-become-light season.

We are known and seen by the God who knows our deepest need.

Christmas reminds us that God took matters into and onto his own hands.
