Ripples of hope

When Jesus speaks, there are ripples of hope that spread through our heart, through our loved ones, into our community. When you have an encounter with Jesus you cannot remain unchanged.

 

 

Today I feel broken, bruised, battered

by the one I gave my heart to.

I am on the edge of tears.

Looking into a well- never ending.

So many tears, pain, no way out

deep, dark, swallowing me whole.

My flesh tells me I am alone,

forgotten, unloved, worthless.

The world tells me try more, try harder,

it’s up to you alone.

-The Woman at the Well

 

I will never leave you or forsake you.

I have kept every tear in a bottle.

I see you.

I love you.

You cannot go on by your own strength.

You are not designed that way.

When you call on me I will answer.

I will give you wisdom.

I will direct your path and your steps.

I will give you strength.

I will give you grace upon grace.

Hope upon hope.

-Jesus
