ABIDING
During Christmastime, there is a lot of nostalgia around the idea of coming home. Home is the place where we are safe, secure, known, and loved. Jesus Christ is our ultimate home. When we make our home with Him or abide with Him, we can more fully experience joy. He keeps us safe and secure. He knows us intimately and loves us way more than we deserve.
Use this simple tool to practice silence and solitude.
1- Take 10 deep breaths – with each inhale, pray silently “Jesus,” and on the exhale, pray, “You make my joy complete.”
2- Sit for 5 minutes, abiding in the presence of Father, Son, and Spirit, allowing His joy to fill you.
3- Read John 15:8-11 multiple times. Read until certain words or phrases feel like they’re being ‘highlighted’ for you. Ask God what He might be saying to you.
4- Pray those impressions back to God.
Take a Next Step: How can you share the joy of the Lord with someone else today?
