Good News...

“The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, (Luke 4:18 NLT)

There is good news for you today. If you are downcast there is hope. If you are feeling lonely or rejected there is hope. If a sense of loss has overcome you, there is hope. If tears have been much of your food lately, there is hope. If you have been hurt by someone, and the pain seems too great, there is still hope. If you are blind or lame, there is hope. If you are sitting in a prison cell of affliction there is hope. If the waves of despair and darkness have come over you, fear not for there is hope. His name is Jesus, and He is the Anointed One, the only One who can forgive sins and set any and every prisoner free. Yes it is true. This is good news! The timeless message still remains true and pertains to your life today. If there is breath in your lungs, though you are considering ending it...there is HOPE! Do not give up. Death has no victory, and no sting. He paid the price that you might be set free. I must tell you the good news that you are loved! Yes, you who dwell in darkness, you who feel despair, you who are blind. You who have been defeated, you who have been taken advantage of. You are loved, and there is hope. Hope as certain as the sun rising in the morning. Hope of a future that is brighter than any light you have ever seen. Hope that one day you will again dance like a little child with absolute freedom. Hope that is beyond anything this world has ever known. This is good news.
