With our compasses oriented to the gravity of grace encountered in Christ, new roads emerge for us personally and collectively. And even when we lack the hope and strength to continue our journey, we can trust that the gravitational center of grace in Christ continues to hold us in orbit. And even in this new year with all it’s early tumult, God will continue to carry us in Grace through 2020. Sometimes moving within this graceful orbit will look like disobedience when unjust rulers issue deathly orders, but by these new roads we will experience life and love abundant. Whatever the circumstance, may the light and warmth of Jesus Christ, our gravitational center of grace, shine on us and reflect off of us for all in our orbit to experience.
