A little bit of fall and a little bit of Christmas sparkle, it seems appropriate for this first day of December.
I stepped into Autumn with great excitement as I always do. The anticipation of what was to come felt hopeful.
And then the plug was pulled and life happened and the hope of all things being made new seemed to circle the drain. Has that happened to you beloved?
You start to Hope and then more hardship appears on the horizon.
Perhaps it happens when we aren’t fixing our eyes on the one who is HOPE but instead on what we “hope” will come to pass.
“Without becoming weak in faith, he contemplated his own body….. now as good as dead… yet with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief.” Rom. 4:19-20
Abraham did it.
He looked at himself and saw the great LACK to be able to bring about the promises of God.
But He didn’t get stuck there.
Then he lifted up His eyes to the ONE who is Hope and he did not waver in unbelief.
If life has come at you full force dear ones, and the anticipation of what is to come feels like dread instead of HOPE, come with me.
Turn your eyes away from your body as good as dead and lift them up to our Savior, the long awaited Immanuel, God with us. ❤️

‘’Tis Mercy All” hangs in my bathroom. I see it everyday and yet I forget that living a life of faith often requires “walking by faith,” NOT by sight.
Then His Word reminds me, trusting in Christ is a privilege NOT a right and even our faith in Him is a gift!
It’s true, “’Tis Mercy All!”❤️
Happy Thanksgiving to those who are walking. Whether today looks like a faith walk or you can actually SEE His goodness, keep walking! ...

“We were created to live in a real, heart-gripping, agenda-setting, behavior forming awe of God.
But other awes kidnap our hearts.
Awe of creation, awe of other people, and awe of ourselves shove the awe of God out of our hearts.
So, we need grace to see again, to tremble again, and to bow down again at the feet of the One who deserves our awe.” - Paul David Tripp
Meditating on this today and letting the awe of God transform my heart.❤️
What thought is filling your heart today friends?

God desires to meet us smack dab in the middle of ALL of it!
We may not get to choose what life throws at us but we can certainly choose how we think about those things.
We can take every thought captive.
We can fix our eyes on Jesus,
And we can choose to let His love and peace fill our hearts. ❤️ ...

In case you need to remember that His eyes are still on you beloved…
Grief may blur your vision but it doesn’t blur his.
His eyes are on you just like they are on the sparrow.
When life gets hard and it feels like one attack from the enemy after another, we may feel our vision blur.
But this is when His Spirit whispers, “Eyes on me beloved. Lift up your eyes. Seek my face. Savor my presence. I’m there. Look for me.”
Begin to remember His faithfulness.
Find joy “in the midst of pain.”
See the evidence of God’s tender mercies.

He lines the grief with unexpected moments of joy like a bird lines her nest with feathers from her own breast so the harsh sticks won’t harm her babies.

You are loved friends. You are so loved.

I was thinking this morning about the “anticipation” the Christmas season brings. I realized that as I’ve grown older this anticipation has been joined by an ache for “all things to be made right” in my own world and in the world at large.
Isn’t that the definition of longing for Jesus?
We know He walks with us.
His very presence brings comfort.
And yet…
All is not yet, as it should be.
As we step into this season of giving thanks and anticipation, let’s be okay with the ache as well.
Because we won’t feel truly at HOME until we see Him face to face.
❤️
