Can you believe it? Another year is just about over and a new one is right around the corner! My thoughts begin to swirl as I focus on the upcoming holidays and how I want to "do them right" this time. It's at these moments I get a little 'antsy' and anxiously determine to do next year what I did not get done this year.
Thankfully though, by God's grace His Holy Spirit reminds me it's not in the doing that makes a perfect life worth living but its in being His Beloved at the center of His will.
I want to focus on that. Not preparing the moistest turkey (even though I hope it really is juicy!) or the most elegantly decorated tree or perfectly chosen and wrapped gifts, but on Jesus' unfailing love.
Yes, I am going to relax - God's got this!
“I, Jude, am a slave to Jesus Christ and brother to James, writing to those loved by God the Father, called and kept safe by Jesus Christ. Relax, everything’s going to be all right; rest, everything’s coming together; open your hearts, love is on the way!”
“But you, dear friends, carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the center of God’s love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. This is the unending life, the real life!”
