Reader,

Colossians 3:3 is one of my favorite verses. In speaking of our union with Christ, Paul says, "For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God."

Do you ever think of your life that way?

Your life doesn't consist primarily of all that's outward and visible for the world to see, but what's concealed, secret, and hidden with Christ in God in heaven.

Your hidden life in Christ is also developed and strengthened, in secret.

It's in the hidden places of our lives, where we meet with God, that our joy and pursuit of holy leisure begins.

I invite you to consider one of the most astounding, true stories of not living in light of our riches, and how, as Christians, we might be guilty of the same.

The Hidden Places is also Part One of my forthcoming book The Pursuit of Holy Leisure: Enjoying God in Everyday Places (releasing 3.17.26).

Also, don't miss the opportunity to download a FREE CHAPTER of my book at the end of this article. I'm so excited to share this sneak peek and would love to hear how it encourages you.

Hidden in Him,

Cara

There is therefore now no condemnation! Reader, Happy New Year! This year, I'm making Scripture memory a priority. I've never been very good at it, and I've let that be my thin excuse for not trying very hard. So, to reverse that, I've decided to bite off more than I can chew. ;) I'm memorizing Romans 8 this year! Martin Luther once famously likened the Bible to a ring, the epistle of Romans to its diamond, and chapter eight, the sparkling point of the jewel. One of the benefits of...

Have yourself a blessed little Christmas Reader, You've probably heard the song "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" hundreds of times. It's a tender song that pulls on our heartstrings for peace, togetherness, and ease of trouble. But did you know that song was released in 1944, during WWII, when many soldiers were leaving behind the comforts of home for the ravages of war?
