Week 31 - The Journey Advent week 3
"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel." Isaias (Isaiah) 7:14
The promises of God. How many truths in the past does God have to show us before we believe? I wonder of the discipline of God to wait for salvation history to play out so we can understand that what He says comes to reality. Our very existence comes from the mouth of God. "He took him outside and said, "Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be." Genesis 15:5

To some the Christmas season is a nice story, a good fable, to others it is their life, their way of thinking, He defines who they are because of His deep abiding love that is revealed in His Son, the word of God. When we sit with scripture and listen to the Trinity, our relationship deepens, it grows, it becomes alive, we live the Christmas story, for it is our story. Don't just read the words this Christmas season, live them.
What is God saying to me? I see and you see, your eyes have been opened, in more ways than one.
Dear Father, I see things I don't want to see but know it is part of the journey. I see the reality of life without You at the center, I see the evil that has a grasp on humanity and the way that we live. I see the hope of You Lord, in Your Son and His resurrection. Give us discipline as You gave it before so we may know Truth. Continue with the signs, sometimes that is the only way we realize Your true nature of loving us. Thank You Father for loving us that much that You give us Your Son. Amen.
Mary, Virgin Most Pure, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Strong, Pray for us.

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
