This one speaks the most to me: “God gives God. That is the gift God always ultimately gives. Because nothing is greater and we have no greater need, God gives God.” So deep and so simple at the same time. God is always the great paradox for me.

I’m so glad that you’ve joined our One Word group. I continue to look up to your as one of my online mentors! 🙂

You are so right, Nancy, that one of the benefits of growing older is to have the rich experience of walking with faith with God and his wonderful faithfulness. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas

As he wrote of the prophets looking forward with confidence, because they could look backward with awe to Yahweh’s great deeds, I thought, “Me too!” I’m old enough now (!) to look backward on numerous of Yaweh’s great deeds, recorded within the pages of a looseleaf journal. With CONFIDENCE I can look forward to his provision in the future–here and now on earth–and there with Him in heaven! During these uncertain times, a dose of confidence is especially welcome. Thank you, Jean!

Which is exactly what I need right about now. Thanks, Jean. Bless you.

But I’m glad you shared that definition of parousia – never heard of that before!
Blessings for an expectant and joyful season of Advent!
