Do: Look for opportunities God gives you this week to simply point to Jesus.
Look: This isn't a typical image I'd share for the day we remember Christ's baptism in the Jordan River, but it's the image that's captured my imagination for us this week. How often do we consider the pronouncement of belovedness that comes at Christ's baptism? How often do we consider our own? The story of Pearl Brown's extraordinary life and death (as recounted through her adoring father, Eric's, Instagram feed) seems to be summed up in her mother's gaze in the photo above. Can we imagine this same kind of love in our Heavenly Father's gaze toward Jesus and spilling over onto us?
