Monday, Nov 30 - My One & Only<br />
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of<br />
the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.<br />
John 1:14<br />
Thanksgiving? Over! Christmas? Just days away! As I pick up my Bible to read about the first<br />
coming, I’m struck by these words that describe <strong>Jesus</strong> in the passage above: The One and<br />
Only! Think about HIM:<br />
My One and Only...who created the world in which I live.<br />
My One and Only...who gives life and breath.<br />
My One and Only...who is the perfect shepherd, &<br />
My One and Only...who is the perfect Lamb of God.<br />
My One and Only...who sacrificed for my salvation.<br />
My One and Only...who redeemed my soul.<br />
My One and Only...who offered me complete forgiveness.<br />
My One and Only...who chose me to be adopted by grace into a new family.<br />
My One and Only...who loves me endlessly.<br />
My One and Only...who prepares eternity for me.<br />
My One and Only...who set me free.<br />
My One and Only...who declares me “not guilty,” accepts me unconditionally, and whispers you<br />
are not condemned (“Go! Sin no more!”).<br />
My One and Only...who provides all that I need.<br />
My One and Only...who knows my end from my beginning.<br />
My One and Only...who has a good work ordained for me –<br />
a purpose and value to my<br />
existence.<br />
My One and Only...who is full of grace.<br />
My One and Only...who speaks truth, gently but firmly.<br />
My One and Only...who sets my feet upon a righteous path.<br />
My One and Only...who offers me an abundant life.<br />
My One and Only...who speaks words of intimacy to me.<br />
My One and Only...who assures me of His presence.<br />
My One and Only...who blesses me beyond measure.<br />
My One and Only...who calls me “friend.”<br />
My One and Only...who heals my broken heart.<br />
My One and Only...who sustains me in his massive, supportive hand.<br />
My One and Only...who knows just what I need, when I need it, and doesn’t always answer yes<br />
to my heart’s desires (because my best is always what's put first).<br />
My One and Only...who is at work completing me – thank you, God!<br />
What a great way to prepare this Advent as we contemplate <strong>Jesus</strong>: Our One and Only! Our<br />
GREATEST GIFT!<br />
