"'Do not be afraid . . . for your prayer has been heard." - Luke 1: 13a
Dear Friends in Christ -
"Dear _______ - I got your message, and the answer is yes." This is what we most want to hear from God, right?
But what would you DO if you did actually hear this from God?
Zechariah heard these words. From an angel, no less. And what did he do? He basically said, "I doubt it." The angel struck him mute for several months in order to convince him.
I've always thought that if I heard an angel speak directly to me, I would believe him. But then again, maybe I wouldn't.
It's hard to believe God, to receive God. But as chosen ones, that's what we're called to do. And here's the good news: we don't have to believe or receive God perfectly in order for Him to come to us. God won't pass us by if we're doubting or afraid.
This Christmas, God wants us to offer our honest requests and praises to Him . . . and then wait. He's coming.
Faithfully with you, praying and waiting,
Janet+
