Benjamin was brave today.

Benjamin showed up at soccer practice today wearing headphones and Crocs, with no intention of getting out of the van. No, he didn’t have his best practice anyway. He didn’t even make it onto the field. But he showed up, and the showing up is a turning point - a bookmarker we will go back to again and again.

Sometimes you just have to get there.
To your people. To your Father. To His House.

You don’t show up because of what you have to offer. Jesus did because He wants you to be all the way you with His people, with your Father, in His House.
