Matthew 12:21
In his name the nations will put their hope.


Dear friend,

Greetings from Puerto Rico! Maybe you've seen the recent commercial with Penelope Cruz . She declares that everything sounds more intriguing in Spanish. Shoes - zapatos, stapler - grabadora, delicious - delicioso and yes, even my name, Robert - Roberto! It's entertaining to say the least.

And then there's the Spanish word for hope; esperanza. It sounds so beautiful to the ears. More than that it's beautiful to the soul and we all long for something to place our hope in. Yet, billions around the world, including at home and right here in Puerto Rico, live their lives in futile attempts to find fulfillment apart from God. They have nothing to place their hope in!

Praise be to God that He has given us all the hope that we could ever need or want through his Son Jesus Christ. The hope of the Nations!

Do you know this hope? Is it radiating in your life and are you sharing it with others? Allow the hope, the esperanza of God to fill your life today and overflow to those around you!

Praying that the Love and Hope of Christ warms you today wherever you are!

In Christ!
-Roberto :-)
