A Daily Devotion for Thursday, December 23

Romans 15:13

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Filled with joy and peace and hope- this is a reason to rejoice! God has offered each of us this life. Clearly we do not always have those positive feelings. But we can still rejoice in this reality. God is with me, always. God offers me peace and hope, always. God is holding me when I am hurting. Sometimes I feel like I lose the connection, but it is never gone. God is just waiting for me. In this season of hope and joy, I will remember to rejoice!

Father God, in this season of hope, may your spirit touch many hearts, and may we all rejoice in our hope and anticipation of eternity with you! Amen
