December 4: #Focus

​So much in our lives can seem out of focus, like a hastily taken photograph, the image is familiar but difficult to make out – maybe we are taking photos of the wrong things to begin with. In this season of Advent, Jesus calls us not to be weighed down with the blurriness of this life, but to look deeper, sharpening the image that we long to see clearly and refocusing on the actions of God in our daily lives.
