The Hope of Life | Merrill Newborn

In a world full of millions of lives and hopes and dreams buried deep inside our hearts we have a God who knows each of them, who leans in and whispers quietly, “I see you.”

In perfect timing and upmost care with your dreams in mind (and more, His great plan for your life and family) He acts.

After the waiting.
The pleading.
The crying.
The pressing on.
And finally–the surrender.

Now.

Now, at this moment, in this God-ordained time He smiles and says, “Yes.” He breathes His very breath inside you and like all creation…life is formed.

Beating, growing, pulsing as if to say,
“God is good. God is good. God is good.”

But this answer–this tiny life, this little boy–isn’t just for you…he’s a brilliant, breathtaking boost of faith for the countless lives interwoven with yours. The hundreds of prayers of friends who cried on your behalf now live and proclaim and profess to all they know the testament of God’s hand and working because they too have lived and walked with you and seen with unparalleled confidence he is from God.

Theadore James–“God’s gift.”
Your gift.
Our gift….
