Advent.
Definition: a coming into place, view, or being;
arrival.
How often do we speak of new beginnings? Of resolutions for
the new year? Of fresh hopes. New viewpoints or paradigms. New jobs and roles.
When “it” all falls into place… Then?
In all our planning and daydreams, let us remember He who is
the beginning AND the end. The first and the last.
What happens in our lives is huge, important, busy, sad,
happy, but let’s face it, we will never truly “arrive” although we achieve
goals along the way. Take the pressure off yourself. The weight of expectation is a load too heavy
to bear. How wonderful is the truth that we HAVE “arrived” because He came into
His place all those years ago. We are not our own saviour. He is. He is our
beginning, and He is our ending.
Lord Jesus, you are our exceedingly great reward, and our daily
joy.
I
am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end…
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all .– Revelation 22:13,21
