Good news! When we seek righteousness, justice, holiness, mercy, and godliness - qualities of our Father in heaven - our future is with him and will be full of joy. Don't let the darkness that may be around you now steal away the glorious dawn of joy that has already begun to appear but will dawn brighter than the sun with the return of our Savior in glory!

Please continue your transformational work through the Holy Spirit as I keep my eyes on Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
