Redemption Trumps Perfection

Driving down the highway, pondering how different this Christmas season is...my first Christmas season without attending a church service...working on Christmas Eve and half of Christmas Day. My husband and I run a business in tourist territory, so we don't get to attend church. Working 7 days a week, 14 hours a day, is a great way to bring oneself to the threshold of exhaustion. However, the supernatural power of Love Himself never fails to awaken us with tender mercies, kisses from Heaven, and a constant nudging to draw close to Him.

All of these thoughts lead me to hearing His voice, saying, "Focus on the power of redemption instead of the ideal of perfection. For Redemption Himself stepped into imperfection in an imperfect way. He made the imperfect perfect. Focus on this redemption. It is to be celebrated this season." Selah
