From Bishop Rob Wright, Atlanta
Be like the wise men who brought Jesus gifts this year.
1 Follow your star. Where is the star of your heart leading you? Yes, I know COVID has complicated everything but really, follow your star.
2 Take a journey. Even if it is virtual, go somewhere new. We are meant for new. New learning. New friendships. New ideas.
3 Ask your questions. Jesus’ birth prompted questions from everyone. What is your question? So often God is nudging us through the questions that live softly and persistently in our spirit.
4 Don’t stop short. We get so close to our epiphany only to give up or get discouraged. Don’t stop short. The wise men traveled so many miles in faith from their home to Jerusalem. But, it was the last ten miles from Jerusalem to Bethlehem that gave them their heart’s desire. In the immortal words of Congressman John Lewis, “Don’t give up and Don’t give in. Keep your eyes on the prize.”
