I used to think that the pain and grief we experience were some sort of punishment or consequence to my unworthiness of His love. I needed to get my act together in order to not experience the bad times. But I was all wrong. We live in a sin saturated world and I’m prone to sin. But His Grace is always available and He will NEVER leave or abandon me. His love balances my unsteady emotions and wayward thinking.
“the Advent story reminds us that our past, present, and future hope rest not on our willingness, but on the willingness of the One for whom the angels sang, the shepherds worshiped, and the magi searched. Willing Jesus is the only hope for unwilling sinners!” - Paul David Tripp, Come, Let Us Adore Him: A Daily Advent Devotional
