I love all the beautiful colors of Fall. Fall is a season of change, with the days growing shorter, the weather turning cooler, and the trees becoming magnificent! And it's no coincidence that Fall comes just before Advent. It's as if the earth itself is preparing everyone for a season of transformation.
In a few short weeks, Advent will begin, and the gospels will call us to prepare our hearts for Jesus. John the Baptist will ask us to make definite changes in our lives. John isn't interested in decorating, so our lives look good. John encourages us to become good. We must become God's holy people, prepared to encounter the Messiah.
Change can be challenging. We need to take some quiet time to discuss this with Jesus. If we start this conversation now, we will have time to consider how we should adjust our lives. We also need to train our ears to hear Jesus' voice over the jingle bells of the season.
Change isn't a passing thought but a commitment that demands real effort. It may not always be easy, but becoming the child of God you were created to be will be so beautiful! Go ahead and prepare to become beautiful. Embrace this change. It was who you were always meant to be.
