Our lives as we reach adulthood and onward are filled with aspirations and challenges, experiences and pain that drags us downward and discourages us from believing in beauty, love, kindness, and forgiveness. Before you know it, we can become bitter and cautious about others and guarded about ourselves.
We need to re-remind ourselves what it feels like to be child-like –to trust, to believe, to love unconditionally, to cast aside our need for management and control, and to put our lives into Jesus’ hands. And allow him to resurrect our hearts, our bodies, and our spirits.
For the world weighs down, but hope rises.
