Jenny Marrs is sharing an emotional message she hopes will help others. As the Marrs family continues to grieve following a heartbreaking year of loss, the HGTV star finds comfort in these powerful words.
Jenny Marrs Shares a Heartfelt Message About Faith & Hope
On December 8, Marrs took to Instagram to share a powerful message from years ago that still speak to her today.
“Eight years ago, I shared this photo and these words,” she wrote in the caption. “My weary heart needed to read them again today and maybe someone else’s does too … “
The photo showed a Christmas tree ornament featuring a photo of her daughter Sylvie. “As I sit by the glow of the tree, steaming coffee in hand, reading about hope and fear and faith … I glance up, right into these eyes,” Marrs wrote.
She continued, “My Sylvie girl … the ornament we hung years ago, with aching, hopeful, anxious, longing hearts. Our first Christmas with a daughter across an ocean. We didn’t know of the fight in front of us. We didn’t know the days of waiting would turn to months and the months would turn to years. We only knew God called us to say yes to this little girl, yes to an unknown path, yes to hurting and pain and loss and boundless love.”
The HGTV star noted, “He also continually whispered the words I read again just this morning before looking up to the tree and this ornament, ‘Don’t be afraid. Just trust me.’ (Mark 5:36b)”
Marrs shared her hope that this simple reminder could help her fans in some way. “I don’t know what you’re facing today, as we enter the season of Advent and walk toward Christmas Day,” she wrote. “But I know when you are grieving or longing for healing or waiting for your baby or hurting deeply, this season can be harder than most.”
Marrs shared, “It can be a reminder, not of the Hope we look to, but of the one miracle or unanswered prayer just out of reach. If you’re in the pain, desperate for Hope, hear His words again: Don’t be afraid. Just trust me.'”
She concluded with a note about faith and hope. “He is faithful and trustworthy. His story for us is never our story for us but it is always good,” Marrs shared. “He has a plan and a purpose and every tear and every moment of waiting and hurting will someday be redeemed. Maybe this side of eternity, maybe not. But someday, it will all be made new. That is the Hope we can cling to.”
