A Day of Hope

Many of you are feeling a weight this Valentine's Day—loss, fear, oppression, shame, or guilt. You may fear what's to come. Will I be deported? Will my family be ripped apart? Will I suffer the loss of yet another loved one? Will I ever get married? Will I find lasting love? Will I grow this season into all God's called me to be? Can I find peace today despite my circumstances? Can I see a way out of my dark hole, pit of despair, loneliness, and hopelessness?Can I thrive even though I feel alone? Can I thrive even though I face discrimination and persecution at the hands or from the words of others? Even though darkness has visited our door, city, nation, or world, can I see the Light of Truth, which clearly shows me the way to a love like no other?A love bringing hope, joy, peace, and restoration. A love that casts out all fear has no agenda or motive, and it only comes to give abundant life, build up, not destroy.That is the work of our precious Lord Jesus. His greatest love story is His work on the Cross for wretched sinners like us. He died so we could have a life free of the judgment of the law, a life filled with strength to get through anything satan throws at us. Satan is under our feet and has no power in our lives. We get to have abundant life, peace, and protection under the promises of God, as evidenced by the work on the Cross. Abba Father sent His precious son, Lord Jesus, to die so we could live free of condemnation from sin. We have the Holy Spirit (Spirit of God, Spirit of Jesus) to guide us into all Truth. Will you believe it? Will you choose joy today? Love? Peace? Will you focus on the Light and not the dark? Will you praise and glorify God today and see the abundance instead of the lack? Focus on the Cross. Focus on Jesus. Focus on the life-giving blood of Jesus shed on Calvary. Today, let's dine at Jesus"s table. Celebrate Jesus. Let's commune together at His table. Share in His love and break bread together. Let us be cleansed and purified and emerge empowered as warriors, victorious over sin and death, as Jesus's work on the Cross shows us the way. Believe, surrender, obey, and be transformed. Today is a great day. Let's rejoice. Change your perspective; speak words of life, not death. Emerge as bearers of the Light. A Light on a hill can not be hidden as you set your foundation on the Rock of Truth. May you receive countless blessings this day as you show others the Light and love of Christ. Today is a great day. Rejoice. I say rejoice. [Grab your communion elements for this episode]. Join Tammy Toney-Butler on the Reflective Hour Podcast and YouTube channel for healing support. https://reflectivehourwithtammytoneybutler.buzzsprout.com/Check out the ministry website at www.reflectivespacesministry.comClick on the link to donate to further her reach and God's call on her life to minister to the sick, broken, hurting, and marginalized: https://www.paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/4406377Hotline numbers: https://www.reflectivespacesministry.com/contactAbout Tammy: https://www.reflectivespacesministry.com/aboutText-To-GiveText 1-855-575-7888 and Enter Code 800028.
