"This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." In honor of Christmas this week, we want to take a moment to think about Jesus. Imagine being born in a manger - the smells, the dirt, the animals... Does hope exist in the place where you do not want to be?

The manger becomes a reference to the table of God, to which we are invited so as to receive the bread of God. From the poverty of Jesus's birth emerges the miracle in which man's redemption is mysteriously accomplished. Unfortunately, for most of us, we have to start from a place where we never wanted to be in the first place. You have to learn to ignore any thoughts of taking short cuts with your life-changing decision.

In this episode, we want to fill you with encouragement that the one true God responds to your insecurities with reassurances about Himself. Put your focus on the bigness of God! Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Each step in the journey must be done in excellence, in order to rebuild an excellent and pleasing life of faith. You do not have to remain stuck in your manger of pain!
