Hope – Day 5<\/h2>\n

For thousands of years, humanity and all creation desperately yearned for a Savior who would free us from the impact of sin and death on our souls. We strained under the weight of this burden, dragging along, clinging only to a dwindling hope. But then<\/i>, one glorious night in Bethlehem, everything changed. Jesus arrived, and He did it as a living, breathing human (mind blown!) On that night, our literal Living Hope<\/i> had arrived! Our Living Hope<\/i> walked among us, healed us, died on the cross, and rose again for us. But guess what: He\u2019s still alive. He\u2019s still walking with us, teaching, healing, comforting, carrying our burdens, and filling our souls with eternal worth! What a God! What an amazing, Living Hope!<\/i><\/p>\n

Prayer<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

God, thank You that we don\u2019t serve a dead God. Thank You that You died for us \u2013 but You rose again! Thank You that You walk with me daily, that You father me daily, and that I can cast all my burdens on You. You are amazing!<\/i><\/p>\n

Call to Action<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Today, listen to the song \u201cO Holy Night\u201d and reflect on its words. It speaks of longing for a Savior, and the glorious moment when Jesus was born. Take a moment to worship and reflect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
