Hope for the Hopeless

Where do we honestly run in the face of despair? Between the disaster in Lafayette, things in my personal life, and the pain I see in our community, it is SO easy to just curl up in a ball and FORGET. I try so hard to forget the pain and to try to just move on, or even just let it lie and sit in my sorrows. Lately, I'll admit, I've lost some hope. But the reality is that all it comes down to is [sitting at the feet of the cross and remembering.] Remembering the pain that has already been laid on Him, the despair felt by His followers, by His mother, and by His best friends, and most of all... by His Father.

He endured it all to give us life, not pain. We all still experience pain, but it isn't a hopeless situation, and it is NOT a hopeless life. Jesus restores us. He revives us. He breathes life in lifeless times. He waters the ground we walk on. He gives light. He reveals beauty in disaster. He is pro-life.



"A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries bones." Proverbs 17:22






Awaken our souls, lead us to Your light
Take these dry bones and give them life
With Your mighty hand, lead us to Your throne
We bow our knees to You alone, to You alone

Make us a mighty army
Teach us to declare Your glory to the world...to the world
Jesus is a banner we wave
You are the only one who can save, Jesus

Breathe, breathe in me, breathe in me, breathe in me.
Breathe in us.
