Steph's School jacket. This jacket proudly bears a varsity letter she received for Marching Band and for Bowling. Accomplishments of her youth. In youth we learn, grow and mature. Not so much different than all of our life in Christ. Grow, learn and mature. But we also are given gifts to use. Gifts of faith and service to be used in God's Kingdom. Gifts that become proud symbols of God's love for us. Gifts from God to use. Go and search carefully for the Child. Search carefully for Jesus and you will find Him closer than you could ever imagine. Search until He finds you. And He has found you and has placed you in His heart. He has gifted you with angels to protect you in your walk in His Kingdom day after day. He grows you in His wisdom and knowledge day after day. At some point it all hits. And you respond to that awesome grace of God and fall on your face and hear His awesome voice speaking. Listen, search, grow, learn and mature. Day after day and proudly bear his name on the back of your jacket. Bear his name proudly day in and day out.

Lord, I'm so glad you have chosen to love me. ---Amen
