Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

This weekend a dear family friend took her life. She leaves behind a loving husband, two children and grandchildren. To be sure she was dealing with depression and could not see through he cloudiness to the hope we have only in Jesus.

Lifting up this family this morning and searching for a way to help. The darkness of this world is real. Many seek to destroy our hope. Only One came to "seek and save" us, the lost. (Luke 19:10)

Praying for a real way to show His love to those around me. His light and His glory are our purpose. I want to be humble enough to be a useful vessel for Him.

Thank you God for your mercy. Thank you Jesus for many second chances. Shine through me today!
