Good Thingsনমুনা

When you focus on a seed that's planted, you notice its growth. It can feel remarkable to see the first sprout. This time of year, we see plenty of mighty Christmas trees. Maybe you live someplace that has an actual tree farm. Can you imagine those giant trees were once seedlings? Sprouts? What are your eyes focused on? Can you notice the little marks of growth if you are distracted or discouraged by how long the process is taking?

Jesus died on a cross because he knew there was joy when he rose from the dead. He knew we would get to be with him! No matter how painful his death was, he loved us so much that it was worth it. It was a long journey, and it took everything out of him, yet we know there was a light at the end of that tunnel. You can follow his example and understand that nothing this life brings will ever take away the fact that Jesus loves you. So, as you read this verse, no matter what you face in life, believe that it will all be worth it in the end.
