A Window Of Hope

Like many others I know, this has been a very difficult season in my life. Some days are easier than others but I know I have to keep going. I know I have to keep running with all of my heart. As I look in this window, I see a window of hope. There is something special about this window that makes me keep going, that lets me see my purpose. Everything in this window seal was a gift from someone that means a lot to me or someone that I look up to. From the hand written letters, to the plants, to the sign that speaks all truth “God is Love.” This window gives me hope.

When I look in this window seal, I am encouraged. I am encouraged that I am making a difference. I am encouraged in the relationships I have. I am encouraged knowing that God really is love. That he is always there in my midst, and that I get to walk closely with him all of the days of my life.

Even when it’s hard, even when we feel like we just want to throw in the towel, we can rest in the fact that God is with us. God has each of us here for a purpose and we have to keep going. We have to run the race. It’s what we are called to do.

Psalm 33:22 says “May your unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope in you.” I love this verse because it’s so true. God’s love really is unfailing. Even through our grief and struggles, we can hope in the Lord who loves us so much!

So why do I choose to keep going? Because I know a God that loves me no matter what season of life I am in. Christmas is by far one of my favorite holidays (the other being Easter) and there is so much joy that comes with Christmas. But I also want to recognize that Christmas can be hard for many, especially those that are walking through hard times. I am praying for all of those that read this blog this holiday season and need a little hope in their life. I am also praying for all of those that I know personally. You are not alone. God is with you.

Hope in the Lord! When I think of a window, I think of all the things that make a window so great. I love windows because it allows me to see further than the space I’m in. I also love windows because of the light that gets to come into the room because of the window and the fresh air that gets to come in when the window is open. So this holiday season, I pray that you look at window’s a little differently and have your own window of hope in your life. God Bless and Merry Christmas!
