The Hope of Christmas
Saturday, December 24, 2005
I think we come closest to realizing the true meaning of this season on Christmas Eve. In the quiet stillness of this night, my prayer is that you will discover the Hope of Christmas. My words pale in comparison to those given us in the Bible. So, I leave you with two scriptures that have carried me through the circumstances of life and given me a most precious gift.
But those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint, Isaiah 40:31, NIV
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit, Romans 15:13, NAS
Christmas Blessings, Francine

It is Christmas day here in NZ, so, Merry Christmas.
