The value of what we can not see, is often taken for granted. The veins in our wrist are seen and felt under the skin of our flesh, yet the heart is not seen by human eye without out some type of machine or surgery. Yet the heart can be pierced with the words of the mouth of another. The heart can be pierced by things not necessarily tangible but felt at the level of pain. The heart ache of the soul is of great value to individual but it has no cash value. The ache of the soul is unseen, but is felt with each passing breath. Yet the heart ache of the soul is not eternal but can carry the eternal hope of life eternal.

The apostles were willing to die for faith not seen by human eyes, beyond the proof of open doors and miracles of others. The apostle taught by Christ personally. Yet the hope of eternal life is not seen by the naked eye, but the spiritual truth of reality seen by individuals. The hope of faith only taken on the value of truth into the heart and mind of each individual. Without hope faith does not continue. People who experienced Christ grace, and hope know the hope of his eternal reality.

Dear Heavenly Father thank you for the grace of hope you bring each of us, especially during the Christmas season to our heats. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
