Footprints

I see His
blistered feet
on parched sands
picking up shell
fragments and
holding them
gently in His hands—
And one day He will make us whole.

| Do you have a story of hope to share? Please email us, we'd love to hear from you! |
In my deepest pain during Dave’s illness, I had no
strength to go to God with—but sometimes I would
listen to the story of someone else trusting God through their pain, and somehow
their words would lift me into Jesus’ arms, and He would carry me into God’s
presence.
My prayer is that God will use these “Hope stories” to lift you into Jesus’ arms at
a time when you feel too weary to walk. I know God is waiting for you. Come,
let’s go together.
