If Jesus turned to you today and asked, “What are you looking for?”, how would you answer? Are you looking for a friend? Proverbs 18:24 says, “A man who has friends must himself be friendly, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” Are you searching for hope? Psalm 3:3 declares, “But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.” Whatever your soul longs for—peace, strength, restoration—God has already made provision for you.
Are you looking for healing? Isaiah 53:5 proclaims, “By His stripes we are healed.” Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead, and restored the broken when He walked the earth, and He is still the Great Physician today! Maybe you need joy—Nehemiah 8:10 reminds us, “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” If you are burdened by sorrow, remember Psalm 30:5, “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” Whatever you are searching for, the answer is in Jesus Christ. He is the God of all hope and He will not fail you.
