Do the good that is yours to do.

Our work might seem small or insignificant, but when we look at the lineage of Christ and the history of God’s people, we see lots of ordinary, flawed people giving their small and shaky “yes” to God. Could they have fathomed that their lives were part of an extraordinary story where heaven breaks through and alters the course of history?

Each good work, no matter how small, is a thread in the fabric of God’s ongoing creation story—one where love overcomes, peace prevails, and new life emerges. 

This Advent, remember that your efforts, though they might seem modest, are part of a larger, divine tapestry. With God’s help, may our acts of love and works of justice lead to the flourishing of all people.
