HOPE is Here

The Birth of Jesus was surrounded by all kinds of supernatural events. Joseph, as many of us would, had his doubts. Even in his doubt, Joseph was a noble man and planned to divorce Mary quietly. But God had other plans. “Immanuel” means God with us.” It’s not a problem that we have doubts. What matters is how we handle those doubts. Pursue answers, God will help you.

Part of living in this world is experiencing moments of doubt. Can you imagine what Joseph was thinking when he found out Mary was pregnant? “Are you serious?!?” He had to be honest with God about what was going on. God blessed that honesty. Even in our doubt, God pursues a personal relationship with us.
