The answer is grace. God’s grace thrives in the wintery seasons of our lives.
Cling to Christ in the chaos. Share his gospel with your littles. Worship him when it feels like you’re failing. These messy moments can glorify God if we keep our sights on him and point others his way.
The Advent love we celebrate does not call us to suppress our brokenness until after the holidays. Rather, the love of our God that was manifested in the manger beckons us to come and find refuge.
I am certain these uncertain days will become a distant memory as we begin our eternity in glorious presence of our King.
In this season of expectation, let your excitement grow as wildly as it can. Look back at the majesty at the manger and look towards the glorious future we’ve been promised. What hope the believer has been given!
Enjoy those matching pj sets. Cozy up with hot chocolate and the latest wonderfully cheesy Hallmark movie. Sing the carols, look at the lights, give gifts - but my challenge to you this Advent season is pause daily (yes DAILY!) and return your sights to the heart of this holiday.
The gospel is glorious. Take some time this week and forever (but seriously) to reflect on these passages. Let the truth of His word drive you to worship.
Don’t lose heart. God has not left you. He has not forsaken you. He is walking with you now and forever until that long-awaited day when we see him face to face.
“We have been created with a purpose, a purpose that flowed out of God's abundant love.” -Elizabeth Garn
The gospel is not an insufficient Band-Aid that I haphazardly throw at every hard situation people face. It is the life-saving heart surgery that you and I desperately need.
