Making a Wish... for Hope


I wish, I wish upon a star.... It's interesting the difference between wishing and hoping. We seem to hope for what is possible, or for what is likely to happen. We wish for things beyond our reach. And yet the Hope we have in Christ is even bigger than what we could ever think to wish for. He brought us life, He made us His children, He provides everything we need and heals the places in which we are broken. I am finding myself blown away at the lengths God will go in our lives. To be intentional. To bring joy, peace, hope. I don't need a dandelion to blow on to dream big. I have a Father who cares for me, for my desires, for my good. Who is willing to listen and guide. And sometimes He gives me what I desire. But most of the time He gives me more than I could imagine.
