When you hope, be joyful. When you suffer, be patient. When you pray, be faithful. Romans 12:12 NIRV 

It’s hard to comprehend how God will fulfill His will for our days. In moments of wonder, He reminds us we are held together by the power of His love. He allows us to remember who knows the heart of all weakness and prepares us to welcome His Son. 

The Christmas Season can be hard for those who are weak and weary. But, God finds the perfect way to calm. He prepares us to be still, so we will recognize how to receive the glorious gift of Christ. 

Jesus sees inside the wounds of weakness and bandages them with everlasting love. He delivers STRENGTH to those who humbly receive Him. And, He fills us with PEACE, when we have learned how it feels to totally TRUST. 

Christmas is more than just a day to celebrate. It is a season of opportunity to give ourselves to God and find purpose while we're led by Him. God will prepare us for Christmas. He will guide and provide the way to welcome Jesus and help us recognize HOPE came to heal, when He was humbly born in the stable. 

Dear God, Thank you for sending Your Son to the world. Help us trust in You, as we prepare to welcome Christmas and allow ourselves to feel the presence of Your peace. Fill us with the strength of Your faithfulness and help us remember how to love You even more...Amen
