"As the winter frost gives way
to the warmth of spring, I find myself deeply moved by the incredible, quiet
work of transformation happening all around us. Even as we still see
brown earth and cloudy skies, God is at work behind the scenes, preparing new
growth. This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in
it (Psalm 118:24). As dedicated staff, board members, volunteers, and
donors, you sow seeds of hope in the lives of those we serve and help souls to
bloom. Through your work, families receive food and basic needs, children
are safe in loving homes, and individuals are counseled and helped to get back
on their feet. This is indeed God’s work, and it is pleasing to
Him. 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 (Romans
15:13)."

"So,
if life seems a little messy right now, if you’re feeling a little lonely,
distressed, or even a little blah, like no one really cares, the things you do
seem burdensome and meaningless, have faith in the fact Jesus is searching for
and will find you where you are."
