20

Today it has been twenty years since I was burned in an apartment fire; my life irrevocable changed in the blink of an eye. I experienced the kind of loss that devastates, that kills hope. I have lived with the consequences of that fire for twenty years, half of my life. Some results were very bad and some very, very great. God has restored my life and I love it. I have a beautiful wife and three great kids. I am filled with hope and expectation that the best is yet to come. And my hope is never disappointed but grows with each new day.

God, You have been so good to me. I praise You on this day for Your sustaining grace and for Your overwhelming love that pursues...captures...and never lets go. May my lips praise You forever. Thank You. Amen.

I have learned a few things in my life that my prove useful for you. One I want to share with you now:
When you fall into a dark place in your life, the highest you will need to climb to escape...is up to your knees. God is your escape...your rescuer...your savior. May you find Him in your moment of need. He is your only hope.

Be blessed and filled with hope. God is with you.
