It's been a rough couple of years for me. I freely admit that. I've focused too much on my own problems that I haven't realized that there are many others struggling just as hard as I am. I committed myself to stop whining and complaining about stuff I have no control over, such as my current financial situation. I know that God is in control. I am blown away when I realize that he's been with me through it all.
During this time of year it is especially hard not to focus on broken dreams and wish for something better to happen. Believe me, I do know. I often wish for things I know are not possible for me to have. I reflect on all the broken dreams I've had and wonder if God is really out there for me. It's foolish. I know that....and more than that its crazy. He shows himself daily to me, if I'm open to his leading and his words. It is his words that resonate this time of year.
I marvel with the angels that he could sacrifice himself for me. It still blows me away that he could love me as he does. Seeing the children re-enact the birth of Jesus Christ sends shivers of joy and sadness through me. The joy is knowing that they are receiving the word. The sadness comes when I realize that some will forget and turn away from the message of hope and light.
We all need reminders of God's love for us. We need to be courageous enough to take a stand and talk to others about the light of the world. We can't be cowards and shrink from our mission here on Earth. Some of us will be persecuted for our beliefs. God is not mocked. His light does burn in the Darkness even now. Praise be to him who brings the Light!
