In the Winter, things can look bleak. The sun doesn’t shine for days. Many things in nature look dead. The cold weather can keep you inside – isolated from others – longing for a change of season. Then slowly, temperatures begin to rise. The sun peaks its head from behind the blanket of grey in the sky. A change of season is approaching. We hear Christians talk about their “seasons”.
As one year comes to a close and a new one begins, we can have a fresh start in our lives. We can’t change the things that happened in our lives this year, but we can put our poor choices behind us.
Ok, we’re into the second week of Advent where the focus is on peace. Where are you in your holiday process?
The Advent season is observed in many Christian churches as a time of reflecting on Christ’s first coming to Earth as a baby as well as in preparation and anticipation of his majestic return as King.
In times of prolonged darkness, loneliness, pain and struggle, where is God? When we can’t feel his presence, here are some verses to remind us of His faithfulness.
To be delighted means to be highly pleased, to take great pleasure in, to approve. Did you know God feels this way about us? He tells us so in the Bible.
When things are done that cannot be undone, what healing and hope is there for those struck down in the wake of another’s sin? God wants to help us heal.
I want to be one of those Christian women – I bet you know one – who seems joyful all of the time.The authentic joy that is found in Christ is unwavering hope and peace regardless of circumstances.
