The holiday season is a pretty good time to step back and look at what truly matters. What is the driving, master principle behind what I am doing? What is the belief that pushes me forward? Why am I doing what I am doing?
My driving principle is this: That Jesus Christ has been sent to us after humanity’s failing to remain faithful to God’s law in order to take the blame for our wrongdoings and to give us the ability to do good things He saw that we could not succeed with the Law written on tablets of stone so He took the initiative to write it on out hearts and in our minds. He bought my badness in order to offer His goodness, a goodness that naturally pours out to others when it’s given to me.
So, for me, the thing to remember during this holiday season when everything gets busy (and, more significantly for me, when I am unable to meet with many people to raise support because they are busy) is that in the end all I do I do because of what Christ has done and has made me able to do.
I am thankful to God for all of you (whether you support me or not), and I hope that your holidays are very enjoyable as well as worshipful.
Joshua
