Tenth Avenue North is pritty Awesome.

So every morning i get up at 6 to spend time with God. And my friend Cailyn (Idk if I spelled that wrong?) Is letting me read a devotional from tenth avenue north. It’s awesome, here’s a piece of today’s.
Quote from Tenth avenue north’s book
“Is Christ a means to an end or an end in Himself?”
In other words,
This Christmas, If you could get everything you ever wanted,
I’m talking, snow, family, maybe a 70’’ plasma screen,
if you could have no more pain and no more crying,
streets of gold, angels in the sky, or a castle on a cloud;
if you could go to heaven and receive relief from your guilt,
healing from your diseases, and safety from your enemies,
but you couldn’t have Christ, would you still have everything you ever wanted?
Would you be happy?
This question blew me away, would you be happy? I don’t know, do we remember what Christ did for us? I mean I’m sure we do but really understand what really happened? What he does for us?


Mike Donehey continues to say “Because, I’ve got to be honest.
This Christmas, sitting by the fire in Michigan,
watching the snow fall and being reminded that I don’t have to earn grace,
the one thing I want this Christmas is to be home.
You can keep your music and gifts and all your movies, I just want home.
As I’ve gotten older, and as the years have gone by,
and as I’ve been disappointed year after year by
the very presents that I thought for sure would bring me happiness,
I’ve begun to realize that this world is not my home.
My life is hidden with Christ, He is my life, my righteousness,
and the very treasure that my heart is aching for”.
So would you be happy? What would you give up to the lord? What’s to precious to you that you can’t give up? Anything?
