What I Wanted

December 10, 2023 • Rusty Coram

The mentality we had as kids at Christmas can stay with us into adulthood. We set our hearts and minds on things we are convinced will bring us the happiness we desperately crave.

Introduction

We don’t know every detail about the night Jesus was born. We do know it was in a barn on the outskirts of town, free of the noises of a crowded city. We also know it was dark and clear enough to see the stars. Aside from the sounds of a few farm animals, a historical and miraculous thing happened in the still of the night. He was the answer to the prayers of many, wrapped in a bundle that didn’t exactly meet expectations. God’s plan and His timing are perfect. The impact of Jesus is seen in ripples throughout history. And He is STILL the answer to our prayers today.

Many of us experienced great excitement creating our Christmas list as children. It was our opportunity to create a list of our greatest hopes and dreams each year. What is on your list this year?

What I Got

Over time, we take stock of our lives and discover disappointment. It may be that we didn’t get what we wanted, or maybe we did, but it didn’t give us the peace we expected.
