“He did not wait till the world was ready, till men and nations were at peace. He came when the Heavens were unsteady, and prisoners cried out for release.” – Madeleine L’Engle, First Coming
As we anticipate Christmas again this year, may we allow whatever we carry to rise up to the surface, whether it be grief, indifference, joy, disappointment, heartbreak, courage, or love.
As we acknowledge the colorful mix of our own humanity, may we offer it all to Jesus, joining one another in preparing Him room.
Peace isn’t dependent upon the room we’re walking into. Instead, because of Immanuel, we bring Peace with us when we walk into rooms.
We can sit down on the inside even when there is a lot to do.
I would love to help.
