A word received at Christ Church: Today is glorious. Bring it to me. Bring me praise. Tomorrow you may be taken advantage of or misunderstood. Bring it to me. Lay it down at my cross and leave it there. Let go of it.
Bring to me your tears
Bring to me your joy
Bring to me your sorrows
Bring to me your laughter
Bring to me your hurts
your children
your family
your enemy
your friends
your time
Bring everything to me first. I want to be first in your lives. Teach this to each other. Teach this to your children.
