Jan 1:4

Christmas is a time to celebrate the greatest gift of all, Jesus. Looking at the story of Christ's anticipated arrival at Christmas reminds us that Jesus came to be the fulfillment of God's promises and faithfulness. All our hopes and prayers are answered in the presence of Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us.

My new song "Known" is really meaningful to my faith journey. My desire is that one day we will all be willing to walk from hopelessness to hope, from hurt to healing, from the struggle to surrender—that we will look around the room, beneath the cross, seeing each other and hearing Jesus tell us that we're not alone. Thank you for joining me on this journey. -Tauren Wells

This 5 day series was written by Scott Hoezee, and is an excerpt from the Words of Hope daily devotional.
