Honor says, “God loves you. God wants to redeem and restore you in spite of how bad you think you are or what you’ve done. I agree with God. I am trusting God for you, in you, and through you until I am trusting God with you.”

God specializes in the details to reveal His glory. He does it in my life and He does it in yours. We get to open our eyes and look for our magnificent, omnipresent God who finds joy in manifesting His presence to us.

At the first Christmas, God gave grace to the world and called us to give grace to our world. Forgiveness is why Jesus came into the world. Forgiveness is why we were left in the world. We are called to forgive every wound we’ve suffered. Why? Because the blood of Jesus covers all sin, including the ones that wound me.. and you.

Trying to manage our life on our own is futile. When we abide we bear a lot of fruit, when we don’t abide we bear no fruit. Abiding is simply staying constantly connected and desperately dependent on Jesus. Everything in our Christian life flows out of abiding.
