By Movieguide® Contributor
Movieguide® Grace Award winner Roma Downey is holding on to God’s faithfulness this holiday season.
“Faith is the art of holding on, believing in things unseen,” the actress wrote on Instagram. “Hebrews 13:8 says that ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.’ Our true hope in life is this: God never changes. He is the one constant we can count on while everything around us rages. There is so much rage and pain in our world. Trust in the Lord. We need God now more than ever.”
Many fans and followers shared their thoughts on the video. One follower wrote, “Amen ?? looks like a peaceful Winter Wonderland?Enjoy ??Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving to you and your family.”
Another follower commented and said, “Beautiful words. Blessings to you and yours this holiday and every day ???”
Downey often uses her social media platform to profess her faith in Jesus Christ.
Along with a photo of a train, she wrote, “When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer. Trust God today no matter how dark your situation. God says, ‘You are coming out!’”
Downey also recently wrote a children’s book and is offering a signed copy at select Barnes and Noble stores.
“Friends! I hope you are ready for a #BlackFriday deal coming soon! A signed edition of my children’s book #AMessageInTheMoon will be available @barnesandnoble stores this Friday, November 24. This is an in-store only promotion, so mark your calendars!” she shared.
“A Message in the Moon was inspired by Downey’s own story of losing her mother when she was just ten years old and the comfort her father brought her. Years later, when Downey left home for college, her father pointed to the full moon and told her, ‘Whenever you feel alone, always look into the night sky, and you’ll be reminded of how much I love you. I’ll leave a message for you in the moon.’ That simple comfort remains with Downey today, and now she is passing it on to parents and children alike,” a summary of the book reads.
“Whether your child is going to their first sleepover, their first day of school, or their favorite stuffed animal is inexplicably gone, whether they are experiencing the loss of a goldfish, or a sibling has left for college, A Message in the Moon helps parents to explain the feeling of longing to their little ones,” Downey wrote regarding the book.
Movieguide® previously reported on Downey:
Roma Downey is no stranger to adapting stories from the Bible for the big and small screens. Most recently, the actor and producer, along with her husband film executive Mark Burnett, released the ultimate story of hope in RESURRECTION ahead of Easter.
For Downey, bringing quality, biblically grounded, and family-friendly content to audiences is one of her primary goals as streaming services become saturated with new content.
“If you’re a screenwriter, the Bible has everything,” Downey told Fox News in a recent interview. “There’s tension, betrayal, love, sacrifice, heroism, drama, danger – you name it. It has all the ingredients that make up a great story.”
Downey continued: “But it’s deeper than that. People are hungry for God. I think they’re hungry for hope. We’ve been so visual and there are so many streaming services now. There’s so much content available. But I think people truly want to see these stories on the screen. And the Bible is beautiful.”
