Blessing and Benediction from Rev. Larissa Kwong Abazia

by Rev. Larissa Kwong Abazia

Do not be fearful! Do not worry about the troubles ahead or anxieties right in front of you. Boast in the love of God so that you envelop yourself in the hope that is to come. Despite all brokenness, we are never too far from God. Therefore, grasp onto hope as God’s abundant love washes over all of Creation.
