Embrace Christ

On my way to the post office this afternoon, I drove past a church that had the slogan "Embrace something that gives you hope and joy this season." But what permanent hope and joy can we find in things that will rust, or moths destroy? I find hope and joy in my relationships, true, but the root of my relationships is still God, who is Love itself. Trying to find hope and joy outside of Christ is ultimately an empty pursuit, and sad advice for a church to give.
