COT:

One of the names of our Savior Jesus Christ that I’ve been pondering is Hope of the World. These are some thoughts of the hope He gives.

Hope to be known, seen, and loved 100%, as we are.

Hope to change, hope that He who sees us as we are can help us become something better. Hope that we can overcome weaknesses so deep we may even consider them part of our personality or identity, but that we know deep down aren’t in line with our truest, divine identity. Hope that we can overcome stagnation and despair, and find peace for our guilt, relief for our regrets.

Hope that we and those we love will live again.

Hope that we can start again. And again. And again and again. Hope for second chances, clean slates, new beginnings. Hope that there is no such thing as the end.

Hope that the joy we can feel right now doesn’t depend on the circumstances of our lives, but on the focus of our lives.

Jesus Christ is that never ending source of hope and joy. May we each feel His hope this Christmas season!

[12] Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, [13] bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. [14] And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. [15] And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

Marcus Aurelius -> Meditations, Translation by Gregory Hays

Book 7 Verse 22:

“To feel affection for people even when they make mistakes is uniquely human. You can do it, if you simple recognize: that they’re human too, that they act out of ignorance, against their will, and that you’ll both be dead before long. And, above all, that they haven’t really hurt you. They haven’t diminished your ability to choose.”
