For we who hoped we’d be more like Jesus by now, take heart. We aren’t saved to the degree we’re LIKE Jesus, but IN Jesus—which is 100%. Our Father WILL finish his work in us. Live humble, stay gentle, treasure the Gospel. A Day IS coming when we will be as loving as Jesus.
No earthly boarding passes, ids, badges, passports, membership cards, or special tickets; only the love of the Lamb #Jesus gets us the embrace we long for.

Holy Spirit, help us resist the temptation to get busier and louder the next few days. Help us quiet our hearts in advance of Christmas Eve. Give us fresh awe of Jesus and kindness for others.
“Keep turning our dread into delight, and our unbelief into uninhibited love for you and others.We want to honor you, Jesus, and not take you for granted. This is often a great struggle, for we are presumptuous and we live in a culture of entitlement.” @ScottyWardSmith
Jesus, if we could hear you praying for us (John 17), see you joyfully ruling from heaven’s throne (Rev.4), and know for certain how you are working in all things for our good (Rom.8:28) ... we would sleep better and longer, and love more boldly and tenderly. May it be, Jesus.
