Wish You Were Here | Where Are You Exactly? And Where Are You Going?

A new year stirs up hopefulness and excitement about the future. Oftentimes we set new goals, and think in a fresh way about what’s ahead. There are some things we can’t control too much, but there are ways we can take responsibility for the STEPS we CAN take, for the STRIDES we can make, and with our strides and God’s strength, some real change can happen. Because Jesus loves us so much, he comes to us, and meets us where we are. Doesn’t matter how far away we are, how messed up, stressed out, screwed up or sinful or dirty, he comes to us. Jesus also wants us to come where he is! He loves us just as we are…but he loves us too much to leave us that way. Jesus also loves us so much he wants to take us some place. Some place new. He longs for us to experience some of what he is experiencing…and is inviting us to come with him…be with him… trust him enough to follow him … to a place you have not yet been. That’s what God wants to see happen in 2021. That’s God’s WISH FOR YOU. That you would go some place you have not yet been in your life. He’s wants you to trust him enough to let him change you, grow you, and help you BECOME someone new…not completely different, but actually, different. More like him… Because wherever you are right now, Jesus is saying I WISH YOU WERE HERE.
