Journal Entry 1/2 From Kristi

He was traveling with his college buddies and was thrown from the car...

Her daughter died last year and now she is here with her grandson who just became paralyzed...

His wife was in a car accident and now can only communicate with him by blinking her eyes...

Everyone has a story here. Each one grips our hearts. Some of them are smiling. Some only stare at the ground and will not look us in the eyes. The brokenness is so real.

But we are reminded that we have the Words of life. #zacshope is indeed Jesus. And their Hope is Jesus too, even if they do not know it yet. For “the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Ps. 34:18) and “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” (Ps. 146:3)

How is Zac able to move through his brokenness with a sincere smile and deep peace? He does not “grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.” (1 Thes 4:13)

He knows where his Hope lies. “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” (Heb. 6:19)

Thank you, Jesus. You are our Everything.
