Come Home for Christmas

It's almost Christmas, only 4 days away. I'm as giddy as my children. This year I feel blessed beyond measure. I have a husband who is my best friend & everything I could ever want, 5 beautiful children, and a wonderful extended family & church family. Although financially things have been tight lately, we've seen the love & care of others poured out. Really, it's overwhelming!

This year, I have been attending BSF. (Bible Study Fellowship) We are studying Isaiah this year. The word that comes to mind first is "Wow!" There is so much in Isaiah to study, and so much application to our own lives. It's heavy stuff. Our culture is a mirror image of Isaiah's day- decadent, spoiled, comfortable, and so so far from God. "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me." (Isaiah 29:13)
Oh, how I pray that this is not true of me!! And yet I know it is!! I pray that my heart will be stirred and I will only worship Him in Spirit & in truth!!
God, through His prophet Isaiah, also offers hope... He gives glimpses of the hope that will come in a Savior, Jesus!

The song, "Come Home" by Luminate has been echoing through my mind.
These are the words to the chorus-
"So I know you've been running, searching for something
but you're looking in a place you don't belong
It's never too late, you can't outrun grace,
No, mercy doesn't care what you've done
So come home
So come home.
(Words by Samuel Hancock and Ben Glover)

My heart cries out for those who have not come home yet. I know a lot of people are skeptical about Christianity. I know that we (Christians) screw up a lot- we're sinners, we're human, and we mess up, too. But here's the thing... we know a Savior who picks us up and cleans us up. We want you to know Him, too. We want you to experience something that really can't be described. It's not about believing in us... it's about believing in Him.

If you haven't come home yet, please do. We're ready to welcome you, and more importantly, He is! He has been waiting for you since the beginning of time. Come home for Christmas.
