November 29 To all my friends I send warmest greetings for the feast of Advent. It tells us that the Lord Jesus, our Savior, has come. Unfortunately one sees his presence mainly in outward forms that have taken hold in the Christian church, and not in a real transformation of people. Christ should change their hearts so that we represent the kingdom of God on earth. This kingdom is "justice and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit," and all of you who want to be friends of the Lord, remember this: let this justice, this peace, and this joy become reality among you, to the best of your ability. Johann Christoph Blumhardt, from Papers from Bad Boll 1874. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- A PRAYER FOR TODAY Blumhardt's prayer for today and every day of the year. http://blumhardts.com/bl/DailyPrayer.htm?source=Breakfast Like what you read today?
