You will have to sweat
to earn a living;
you were made out of soil,
and you will once again
turn into soil.
2 TIMOTHY 1:10 (CEV)
Now Christ Jesus has come
to show us the kindness
of God.
Christ our Savior defeated death
and brought us
the good news.
It shines like a light
and offers life
that never ends.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Life is hard, but God's kindness is greater than all the trauma we endure.
PRAYER
Gracious God, you're there for us -- a friend through the thick and thin. Forgive me for worrying over all the bad things which happen -- as though I have to figure out how to get through it all on my own. Wrap your loving arms around me and help me to see that I'm not alone. You sent Christ into the world to save us, I'm going to let his light shine into the dark times. Amen.
