May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. (Romans 15:13)
Our faces have been covered in masks for quite some time now, and for me personally, it’s been 100% miserable. I have no problem wearing a mask to reduce exposure to COVID; I simply missed seeing faces. I didn’t realize how talkative I was at the grocery store or gas station until we needed to mask up. I missed casual conversations and simply seeing people smile. Smiles are so powerful!
As Christians, we live by faith, and faith inspires hope. We smile through hardships and maintain joy during struggles because we are geared for eternity. We do not become overwhelmed with the daily dilemma with Christ as our guide and comforter.
Dear Father, We are thankful for Your daily presence in our lives. We are Your creation and will reflect Your love in our smiles. In Jesus’s Name, Amen.
