The reality that there is an “end of the world” can feel like a tunnel of darkness or a beacon of hope. The reality that Jesus will return is both an eager hope and anticipation.
It’s so easy to become "me" focused in a world where an algorithm defines your reality. The doom scroll can easily zap your attention, your focus, your faith, and your energy.
What you magnify you multiply. It’s hard to magnify happiness when it seems to come and go. The circumstances of life can feel so overwhelming at times, how do you stay positive? The answer is to look beyond the obvious and magnify the one thing that is always consistent and most valuable.
In a world that feels increasingly chaotic, peace often feels impossible. The answer isn't in trying to create peace, it's in receiving it. Jesus chose to arrive in a humble stable, stepping into the messiness of life - on purpose.
