Jesus, our Lord and Savior, has come. The waiting is over. But I dare not go back to the way things were. Throughout Advent we have worked to prepare our hearts for Him. As I survey our home and see the pile of crumpled wrapping paper next to the fire awaiting its turn to burn I see that I must also survey my heart and find the crumpled remains of my life lived for myself, the discarded pile of selfish desires and sin, all destined to be burned in His cleansing fire. I must gather them all up, not holding on to one remnant, and toss them myself, willingly, into the flames. He will take care of the rest.
