Maddy Baker’s Reviews > Emmanuel: An Invitation to Prepare Him Room at Christmas and Always > Status Update

“Our loneliness and isolation are often reminders that we aren’t meant to bear our burdens. While friendships and invitations are joyous in this life, the invitation from Jesus to find everything we need in him is joy, everlasting.“

“When we come to the Christmas season with an expectant posture, we’re led in hope - like the wise men led by the star. Expectancy sets our sights on God’s promises rather than the empty pursuit of all that cannot truly satisfy in this season. When we turn from expectations to being expectant, we will never be disappointed because God never disappoints. What He promises, He will do.”
