It might be that your deepest longings and hopes this Advent and Christmas are ones for which you wait to be realized. When you think about the word waiting, at Christmas, what do you think of? When you picture someone who is waiting, what comes to mind? Someone who is standing still, passive and frustrated?
Well, the kind of waiting we do, when what we’re waiting for, truly, is Jesus–it isn’t passive. And it isn’t frustrating. Far from it. It’s active, and it’s exciting. When what we’re waiting for, truly, is Jesus, then we, very naturally, become filled with joy and peace and hope. Because we are filled with Him. Remember, though we wait, He is already here. In us.
So, the question is . . . What, exactly, are you waiting for? What are you hoping for? Right now, what dream do you most want fulfilled?
