Hope — Light in the Dark

Hope was born in the dark.

A star pierced the night sky. A baby’s cry broke centuries of silence.

The world was weary, waiting for rescue. And then hope arrived, wrapped in cloth and laid in a manger.

That’s the message of Christmas: even when the night feels endless, the dawn is already coming.

Jesus didn’t wait for the world to be ready. He came into its mess. That means there is no darkness too deep for God’s light to reach.

Hope doesn’t erase pain, but it reminds us pain won’t have the final word.

So if this Christmas finds you waiting, grieving, or holding on by a thread, remember you’re in good company. Because hope was born for people who needed it most.
