Listen

When he came, he announced the good news of peace to you who were far away from God and to those who were near. We both have access to the Father through Christ by the one Spirit. So now you are no longer strangers and aliens. Rather, you are fellow citizens with God’s people, and you belong to God’s household.

Ephesians 2:17-19

Think

My favorite thing about books is that there are so many different kinds out there; everyone can find one they enjoy. Books can teach us lessons, make us laugh, bring us closer together, or take us on new adventures. These stories can become comforts to us in times of trouble or be reminders to do good. Books can help us not feel so alone, and they have the ability to unite people in a common story.

Christ does this with us as well, bringing all kinds of people to be a part of a story that is bigger than they are, bigger than us. Just as there is a book for everyone and so much we can learn from them, Christ offers this to us: a place to grow, to unite with others, and to access God through him.

Pray

Holy God, I pray to find my story through Christ in you. I pray to contribute to your creation not alone but with everyone around me in your love. Amen.

Go

God calls us to join the story of God’s goodness and creation.

Go and find where God is calling you, in the smallness and largeness of the world.

Go in fellowship, in love, and grow in the story that God has for us.
