As optimistic as I am (I can find a bright side to just about everything), I also know that life can be a dark and lonely place.

I’ve talked to teenagers who have a parent whose anger makes just going home after school a dreaded trip.

I’ve known people who can’t escape the curtain of depression.

I’ve spent considerable time with others who, like my wife and me, are enduring life with the sudden death of a child.

I’ve seen what relentless poverty can do to people all over the world.

Despite knowing that these scenarios exist, I don’t despair. I know that hope is available in Jesus, that guidance comes through the Spirit, and that knowledge and power are found in God’s Word.
