Slowing down. It's something many of us might say we want to do, but our actions show otherwise. In Jesus's love, we can find rest, but many of us walk swiftly in the other direction. It's time we slow down.

We may think that we aren't important enough or perfect enough to have a purpose, but God has a purpose for everyone. People looked down on the shepherds, but they were the first to get to spread the word of Jesus's arrival. God's plans transcend the world's expectations, and He has a great plan for you.

God comes to us where we are. We don't have to fix up our life or hide in shame – God comes to us with forgiveness and love. That's something we can have joy in as we navigate this crazy holiday season.

God cries too. God came to the world, fully human, as a baby boy. He felt pain, he felt hunger, he felt anger. Jesus was fully human and He truly gets us.

The Holy Spirit leads us to give to those around us as an act of love. Being generous is not "the norm". We have to intentionally give into that push from the Holy Spirit. Following the Holy Spirit's nudges can make us look more and more like people of Jesus – and that's a beautiful thing.

The Holy Spirit is a guide. It reminds us of our place and purpose. Being led by the Spirit reminds us that we have a powerful role to represent God to the world. We just need to be open to following those nudges.

The Holy Spirit can be confusing and tends to be the part of the trinity that is pushed aside. We're working in this series to gain a better understanding of the Holy Spirit and see how it works in our everyday lives.

As much as we hope that God's voice is loud and clear, it isn't always like that. Sometimes his voice is quiet and gets buried under all the other noise in our lives. Cutting out that extra noise can make hearing God so much more clear.

Reading the Bible is so important, but it's even more important to engage with the scriptures and live our life like Jesus – loving and serving others. This is one of the incredible ways we hear God's voice and don't even realize it.
