Understanding desire
'“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.' (Mark 10:51, NIV)
Yesterday, we looked at Christmases past - traditions and rhythms that have been established over the years. Your journaling led you to a specific tradition. What longing was evoked?
Does the thought of looking at your deep desire sound selfish? Indulgent? Does it feel wrong because there are 'bigger' concerns to consider? Maybe looking at your longing doesn’t seem very spiritual to you. Well, think again.
Jesus was known for asking people what they wanted…really wanted. Not what they wanted for others but for themselves.
Let’s take this a step further. What is your deep desire this Advent season? There is nothing wrong with holiday traditions, but just for a moment, hear Jesus asking, 'What do you want me to do for you…this Christmas?'
- Sit with this question, 'What do you want me to do for you?' What initially rises to the top as you journey this Advent season, specifically, how you observe the coming of the Christ Child?
Don’t try to figure out where you must go from this revelation. Hold it. Don’t do anything about it. Wait for him to reveal how this is relevant to this season.
Prayer: Lord, let me rest with what has been revealed to me today. Amen.

My Advent Journey is a personal look at your Christmas – how you prepare for and celebrate the coming of Christ. This journey will take place in four ways: • Look in – A time of introspection and listening, looking at your longing. • Step back – What is Christmas’ truest meaning? • Time out – How is God speaking to you? • Slow down – Stop and consider the soul work that needs to be done. So, take the journey…your own personal journey and may you find greater revelation and intentionality in your celebration of the coming of Christ
