This time of year its easy to set your mind on the latest gadgets, fashions, and knick knacks. To make of wish lists and send it to whoever may even slightly want to curry your favor by giving you what you want. To give something temporal when the soul longs for the eternal.
One verse that I come to again and again is this.
"And this is eternal life that they know you the one true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."
John 17:3
There are others like.
2 Corinthians 3:18 NASB
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
Philippians 4:8-9 NASB
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
We are in need of Christ, of seeing him, that in seeing we would become more like him.
I struggle during this time of year.
