May God Fill You with All Joy and Peace
"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit" ~Romans 15:13
Tis the season of Christmas cards and this is Paul's letter to us! I cannot think of a more fitting blessing to give and receive. May God fill you with all joy and peace! Not some, ALL! And then to abound in hope! Overflowing hope - that is the tingle of anticipation and sets your whole body on fire! Hope keeps us going, even when the going is rough. It's the knowing that God has the best in store for His creation, for you and me. Even then things seems hope-less, the Holy Spirit excels in fanning that tiny flame, keeping it alive until it can burst forth in joy, once more.
The holidays are hard for many - the fresh grief of a missing loved one, sadness that sits outside the bonds of time, the ache of ancient hurts and injustice, imbalance of body or mind - it distracts us from hope, but the Holy Spirit longs to envelope you in love, joy and peace. Let go of pain for a moment and experience the embrace of pure radiant love. Paul tells us in this same letter " And this hope will never disappoint us. We know this because God has poured out His love to fill our hearts through the Holy Spirit" ~Romans 5:5 God fills us with HIS very own love!! And love truly makes the world go round.
