The other night my oldest daughter Vail asked how come we can’t see Jesus? ⁣⁣Why doesn’t he have a face? ⁣⁣ My answer to her… ⁣⁣Look in the mirror. Look at your mom. Look at your younger sister. ⁣⁣In other words… ⁣⁣In the faces of men and woman we see Jesus everyday.⁣⁣What are your gifts? ⁣⁣How can you use them to point all that you are back to Jesus?⁣⁣How can you use the gifts that God has given you to benefit those around you?⁣⁣I believe you are one thought, one word, and or one action away from making your life and the lives around you better than yesterday. ⁣⁣⁣Watch all my videos at: https://stepintogrowth.epistle.today/⁣⁣Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/step-into-growth-tv/id1527454952⁣⁣Android: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0ZXBpbnRvZ3Jvd3RoL2ZlZWQueG1s⁣⁣#StepIntoGrowthTV⁣#WiseMenStillSeekHim⁣#MerryChristmas⁣#HappyNewYear

“One thing about trains: It doesn't matter where they're goin'. What matters is deciding to get on.”

 

The Polar Express

 

What train do you need to get on? 

 

What train do you WANT to get on? 

 

Life is short. 

 

The wisemen didn’t have to make the 727 4 month trip to find Jesus.

 

My challenge for you today. 

 

10 days until the New Year. 

 

Take sometime each day and maybe write down some trains you would like to get on. 

 

You never know. That train you decide might just lead you to History.

 

 Just like it did for the wisemen. 

 

Just like it did for for the boy in the polar express.

 

I believe you are one thought, one word, and or one action away from making your life and the lives around you better than yesterday.

Are you giving your best? ⁣⁣Are you giving your best in your relationship with Jesus, in your marriage, in your friendships, in school even though it looks different, in taking care of your self physically and mentally? ⁣⁣We were only gifted with one life. ⁣⁣This isn’t a video game where you get multiple attempts at life. ⁣⁣The wisemen showed us what it meant to give your best. ⁣⁣To sacrifice everything. ⁣⁣You may only get one life. ⁣⁣You do though get multiple attempts at your days. ⁣⁣So what can you do today to give your best. ⁣⁣Start there. ⁣⁣I believe you are one thought, one word, and or one action away from making your life and the lives around you better than yesterday. ⁣⁣Watch all my videos at: https://stepintogrowth.epistle.today/⁣⁣Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/step-into-growth-tv/id1527454952⁣⁣Android: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0ZXBpbnRvZ3Jvd3RoL2ZlZWQueG1s⁣⁣#StepIntoGrowthTV⁣#WiseMenStillSeekHim⁣#MerryChristmas

I choose to make my own path.

 

In other words. I choose to take on the dark forest.

 

There is great expense in following Jesus.

 

Think of how much they had tp invest to even make the four month 727 day journey. 

 

Think of the planning. 

 

Think of the cost of the gifts that they brought along with them. 

 

Think of the financial investment it must have taken overall. 

 

Think of the lost relationships, social standing, and maybe even jobs that occurred for being gone close to a year. 

 

Plus they had to make the trip home as well! 

 

Well just like there was a cost for the wisemen to follow the star. 

 

There is cost for us when we say Jesus. 

 

Once we say yes to Jesus we are called to take the narrow gate. 

 

In other words. Not the easy way. 

 

I believe you are one thought, one word, and or one action away from making your life and the lives around you better than yesterday.
