We have this tendency that we want to fix or clean-up certain things first before we let the Lord in. We are afraid that our place, our lives are messy—that it can be too much for anyone even for God to handle. But God is NOT panicking, he’s completely in control. He’s not afraid or scandalized of how messy our lives are, he actually comes for the mess. He isn’t waiting for us to get it together, he wants to come and the way we get things together is by Him coming to our lives, we just have to let him in.
This episode is the third part of the series on Emmanuel: An Advent Devotional that talks about how we can ask the Lord to take our panic and give His us peace. An invitation for us to let God in to our lives regardless of the mess. If you want to follow along with our current advent series, you can get your copy of Emmanuel: An Advent Devotional by Fr. Angelus Montgomery, CFR, and Sr. Karolyn Nunes, FSGM.

Gentle But Uncompromising

From Me to You
Have you experienced being confined to self-centeredness? Sometimes, we can have a pretty self-focused approach to our lives where it’s all about what we need or want. But the invitation for us in this Exodus is to always move towards someone else, towards the relationship, towards God—to be totally out of ourselves and make a self-gift back to God and other people. This episode is the third part…
