Life with Hope

"You lived in this world without God and without hope. But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ."  Ephesians 2:12-13 (NLT)

 Kyle & Alyssa (2004)

Lord, life without you is a life without hope.  So many in this world are lost, lonely, living in darkness, and searching for something that can fill the void in their lives.  Until they come to know you in a personal way, they cannot experience a truly satisfying life, filled with an everlasting joy, and marked by your peace.  Oh, I pray that my children never experience a life apart from you.  Through your salvation may they be brought near to you, and filled with the hope that comes only from being your child.  May Alyssa and Kyle call you Father all the days of their life.
