Let Yourself Be Surprised by Jesus • Sun.12.21.25

Jesus appears even in darkness—let Him surprise your heart.

Even in the darkest moments, Jesus appears in ways we don’t expect—just as He did for the disciples. When life feels heavy, He is often closer than we think, ready to bring light, comfort, and renewed joy to the heart.

Go near the hurting—love shared becomes joy and quiet peace.

Draw Close to Those Who Suffer

Love has its own logic: the more we give, the richer our hearts become. When someone is sick, sad, or alone, draw near. Consolation shared with love returns as deep joy and quiet peace.

Father, Your compassion never runs out. We adore Your tenderness. Forgive us when we avoid another’s pain. Thank You for letting us carry light into dark places. Teach us to stay close, to listen, and to bring hope that heals. Amen.
