Yesterday was Good Friday, and i attended the Good Friday Youth Rally at Unionville Alliance Church with my church, TGAC. The theme of yesterday's youth rally was "Raising Hope". I'm glad i went to the youth rally, and that "Raising Hope" was the theme of the night. I really needed this. It allowed me to remember that in my situations, i may feel hopeless, but all i need to remember is that Jesus is with me. That, because He died on the cross for us, we have hope. The cross was once a symbol for hopelessness, because people got crucified on it.. but for us, when we look at the cross, we remember that we have hope. Jesus sacrificed Himself for us, and He has been through worse things than we will ever have to experience. So, we shouldn't even begin to complain about our problems. And when we feel like God abandoned us in our time of need, we should remember that Jesus felt the same way when he cried out on that cross, "My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?" Jesus identifies with us that he once went through what we are going or gonna go through. That He too felt God abandon Him when He was on that cross. But of course, we need to know that God never ever leaves us. That He is always by our side watching over us no matter what. God has a plan, He has a way. Last night was really such a beautiful reminder for me. With Him, nothing is impossible.
