Every Good and Perfect Gift Heather Bixler

What I love about advent is that it is a "clean slate" during Christmas time. No matter what Christmas was for us in the past, it seems like every year it has the opportunity, and the possibility, to be something completely different and brand new. That's what Jesus brought with Him as He was born into this world; He brought with Him a clean slate, a fresh start, and something brand new to our lives and to our faith. Gone are the days of being consumed by what is going on around us, and falling victim to how the world works, and suffering from a hopeless sense of purpose in life. Now, because of Jesus, we have all these beautiful gifts that God gave to us through Him. Today I invite you to come and take this imperfect advent journey with me to discover the beauty of the good and perfect gifts God has given us through His Son Jesus. Let us journey together to discover what those gifts are, how we can receive those gifts, and most importantly why it's important to be a steward of those gifts. I pray this advent devotional is a blessing to you, and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
