That hard earned state of mind and heart,
where expectations are tempered and
patience is forged through trial and sorrow.
After a season of scraping by...
It pays good dividends.
TRUST.
A haven from fear.
Deliberate dependence and confidence...
Worthy solely of the One.
JOY.
Independent of circumstances...
Knowing I am Loved.
Trusting I matter.
Hopeful.
May this Season of Advent bring you a fresh awareness of the JOY to be found in Christ!
A Savior for all who seek.
Blessed be His Name.
JESUS
