1st Sunday of Advent: Hope
Hope is such a necessary thing for all of us. We will not make it through this life without it. In order to access the hope that God has made available for us, we know that we will have to go through suffering. If we will let it, that suffering changes our mindsets to understand how God is changing us to become more like who He wants us to be. Lament what is happening, confess your role in the suffering, and then experience the hope that only God can bring!
