A Reminder

“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone.” 
- Isaiah 9:2 ESV

Whatever you may be dealing with. 
Whatever is going on in your world. 
Whatever is stealing your thoughts, your moments, your joy…

Be Reminded.

Be reminded from where your help comes. 
Be reminded of the one whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light. 
Be reminded of the one who gives you joy and peace and comfort.

Believe me, I know it’s hard. 
I know things sometimes are more than we can handle. 

But in those moments… In those times when the weight is bearing down and the walls seem to be closing in, be reminded of the one who broke the chains of sin that bind us, that constrain us, that hold us down, that hold us back.

Be reminded of the Child that the warrior angels announced to the lowly shepherds in the field, the Child born in the manger that would bring peace and hope, and grace and mercy and forgiveness to a dark and lost world.

Be reminded of the Child who grew to be a man but not any ordinary man, but the Son of God who was fully man and fully God, who defeated death, died upon the cross, and resurrected three days later.

Be reminded that you are not alone. For He is Immanuel - God with us.

Be reminded that there is nothing that you may be facing that Jesus, himself, has not already faced. Nothing that He cannot overcome. 

Be reminded of His strength in our weakness. 
His hope in our hopelessness. 
His forgiveness in our failure. 
His love even when we cannot seem to love ourselves.

Be Reminded… Yes, Be Reminded

Keep the Faith… Carpe Diem.

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” 
- Isaiah 9:6-7 ESV
