Hope for 2026
January 1, 2026
When my hope rests in Jesus Christ, something settles deep within me. Trust replaces striving. Fear loosens its grip. Joy and peace begin to grow, not because life is predictable or easy, but because the One I trust is faithful.

He steps into it. He always has. And when I slow down long enough, I can trace His fingerprints on seasons I once thought were barren.
