✨ Before there was a manger, there was a promise. This Advent, remember — Christmas wasn’t the start of the story, but the moment every promise God ever made came true. 🙏🌟 #Advent#GodWithUs#PromiseKept
Every adventure that has ever really been written goes like this. A person is in safety, a person is in coziness, a person is in security, but they are whisked away into peril and danger. They’re taken away from safety. They’re taken away from security. They’re taken away from coziness. They brave all sorts of dangers and perils for some great cause.
Christmas itself is the archetype of all adventures.
Nobody left more security than Jesus left. Nobody left more safety than Jesus left. Nobody ever faced the perils Jesus faced. Nobody ever walked into the fire he walked into. Nobody ever braved the storm he braved. Nobody else ever had jaws come smashing shut on him as Jesus had. Jesus faced all of the justice of God for sin coming down on him. He paid the penalty. He left. – @timkellernyc
Sermon, "Jesus, Our God"
May you embrace the grace to leave your past in God's hands. May you have the grit to face down your fears. May you have the gumption to go after your God-given dreams. And may you see God's glory shining over every part of your life. He gives good gifts to His children.
Don't let a busy lifestyle drown out what God is speaking. God is not One who often shouts; we must get quiet to hear His voice. He desires to speak to His children, but we must be faithful to meet with Him.
