From the first Passover in Exodus to the Last Supper, Scripture reveals a continuous story of redemption through sacrifice.

As Joseph’s story shows us, when we surrender our abilities, our hurts, and our unanswered questions to the Lord, He reshapes our hearts and teaches us to rest in His faithfulness rather than our own strength.

While our plans may falter, God’s love never wears off, and each day offers a fresh opportunity to meet Him, be renewed, and walk forward in faith.

I am inviting you to see your calling through the lens of God’s grace rather than your insecurity. When God places an assignment before you, it is not because you are sufficient on your own, but because He is faithful—and your obedience allows His will to be accomplished through you.

May you be reminded that all we have is a gift from Him, and that joyful, generous giving is not about earning favor, but about responding to the grace already poured out for us in Christ.

Just as we treasure certain items because of the people they remind us of, this Advent season calls us to treasure Christ above all.

As you reflect on His coming, may you embrace the sacred opportunity to carry His light into places of pain, offering hope to those still searching for refuge in the darkness.

As we practice giving thanks—one memory at a time—we learn to trust that the God who cared for us yesterday will care for us again tomorrow.
