Hope

A last minute run to the grocery store this evening had an unexpected effect. It was packed with people buying silly balloons, cards, flowers and candy. I had to chuckle. But then it crossed my mind - some people are hurting. It may be a hurt which is fresh and sharp or maybe it has become a dull ache over time.

My heart is burdened to share. There is a love that is forever. It never fails or diminishes no matter the circumstances. This love knows your pain in a way no one else can and longs to comfort you. Lean on Him. Cry to Him. Cast your burden on Him. He can heal you like no other.

"How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! If I could count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You." Psalm 139:17,18
