Hope

It's a wonderful day to make a brand new start. In this time of hopelessness around the world their is one who we can truly place our hope in. He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. No one is like Him! Jamie and I have seen so many couples lost in their circumstances and without hope in the world.



But I am reminded of a couple we worked with just last year who had no hope, or so they thought. They were near divorce and at a loss as to what to do. In his desperation he turned to Jesus and the miracles began to happen. We watched as the love of Jesus Christ transformed this man into a completely different person. At one time a heavy drinker, he told me "you know I just don't think I want to drink anymore." Wow, what a work of the Holy Spirit in this man's life.



And then his wife began to change. What was once a relationship without love began to blossom into something new and different. It was wonderful to watch it happen. This couple that had no hope now had a new begining, something that was not there before as the Holy Spirit transformed their life.



We get to witness this more and more often now as times are hard and many couples are in crisis. One thing we have never been more sure of, the answer to their problems lies in inviting the Holy Spirit into their lives and allowing Him to transform their lives!
