Holy God, You take dead things and breathe life back into them. Ezekiel 37:1-10 confirms that promise to me and all humanity. Nothing is impossible for You.
Sometimes I feel weary, or I look around and see lots of brokenness, but I tell myself, “take heart, He has overcome the world.” I may not see it today or tomorrow, but I am promised that it will happen … maybe not now, but definitely on the side of heaven and eternity. There is always hope with You.
So, what am I to do now? Live!
Live into your promises. Take hold of the hope that You give me. Believe what You’ve told me in Your Word. Believe the promises that You’ve placed in the quiet places of my heart. Believe and share Your hope and love with others.
There is much good news with You. Your unending love, Your continual mercy, Your absolute forgiveness, Your gentleness and kindness, Your constant Presence and on and on I could go.
So easily I forget. I get so hyper focused on my own life, my own stuff that I fail to look up … or even around. So many are suffering, so many feel burdened or alone, so many forget that there is hope in Jesus.
Maybe they don’t even know Jesus. Maybe I should share the hope and promises that I’ve received. Oh, but that would be hard or embarrassing. How would they take it? Is that what You want me to do Lord?
If yes, please give me the strength and courage to do so. I’m so bad at expressing myself. Please give me the words and the way to do so—so as to not offend but to prompt curiosity and sincere interest.
I love You Jesus and I want to share that love with others. I want others to know that there is always hope with You and that nothing is impossible for You.
In the Name that Breathes Life—Jesus, I pray.
Amen.
