Hebrews 12:11 Newsletter

Good morning Reader,

As we move closer to Christmas—just 13 days now—I’ve been thinking about something I read in The Gap and the Gain. The authors talk about how easy it is to fix our eyes on what we don’t have instead of what’s already in our hands. And honestly, this time of year brings that struggle right to the surface. Realities start settling in about what we can and can’t do.

I remember feeling that last Christmas. I was disappointed because Jonathan and I couldn’t give gifts the way we hoped. At the time, that felt like a loss. But when I look back now, I see what I missed: we were investing in our home. We did give gifts —just not on the exact day I had pictured. The gain was there the whole time; I just didn’t recognize it.

So what about you? Where have you actually moved forward this year? What have you been able to do—financially, spiritually, or personally—that you might be overlooking because it didn’t happen on the timeline you imagined?

Important dates have a way of making us doubt our progress. But you don’t have to live measuring yourself by what didn’t happen. Make it a habit to notice how far God has already carried you and to name the ways He’s been faithful along the way. Gratitude steadies you when the calendar tries to rush you.

Try this:

• Write down three gains from this year—big or small.
• Thank God for each one.
• Ask Him to help you see your progress through His eyes rather than your own deadlines.
