Searching for rest? ... I sought rest today, and without surprise, I found it as soon as I looked for it.
I know I have many things that I'm looking forward to in the days ahead ... last days of classes; ministry opportunities in Ottawa; a quick trip to Calgary to see family, friends and Vince; the start of my last semester at CFOT. The list could go on ... but it's simply that - a list. This is not a list that I want to consume me.
At this start of Advent I am reminded yet again that there is so much more that I can look forward to. The lists of life can become overwhelming but if we cover those lists with LOVE we’ll find Peace. Our Peace can be found in the LOVE of God, through His Incarnate Son.
Rest in the Truth … as you journey through Advent.
Heaven's splendor left behind,
The King of glory born to die.
God and man to reconcile,
You came to offer up Your life.
This is love, this is love,
Incarnate King, begotten Son.
This is love, this is love,
You choose to make your home in us.
Worship fell that holy night,
Angel voices filled the sky.
Lowly shepherds raised their eyes,
Following the star so bright.
This is love, this is love,
Incarnate King, begotten Son.
This is love, this is love,
You choose to make your home in us.
Come thou long expected Jesus,
Born to set Thy people free.
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our peace in Thee.
This is love, this is love,
Incarnate King, begotten Son.
This is love, this is love,
You choose to make your home in us.
