So what do we do with the
Gift of yesterday? Return it for
one that we think fits us better?
We can discover that He
isn’t bankrupt or stern or stupid, and we don’t have to wait for some opportune
moment when He will be available and willing to offer us help. We don’t have to
look for a marked down version.
There isn’t one anyway. If
we truly get Him we will get all of Him, which is only scary if we haven’t yet
begun to discover His profound goodness. We will find that He smiles and laughs
and has a great sense of humor and isn’t overwhelmed by any of our real story
or unable to help us get beyond the worst of it.
If this is strange, you
can start to scratch the surface with a simple request. “If you are really there, let me see
you. I’ll give you a chance by watching. (Don’t skip that part.)” If you have encountered Him before, it
may be “Stir my hunger for You again, Lord…I’ve gotten terribly
distracted.”
It’s the day after
Christmas and His brilliance and worth hasn’t decreased a bit, even after the
thousands of years and all the care and provision He’s already given. He is fully there for you and His
storehouses are stocked with everything you will possibly need. You wanted peace on earth? That was exactly what He brought. Open the box.
