For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9: 6

Christmas provides opportunities to share good will toward men and recognize why sharing the love of God is pleasing to our Savior. He leads us to a prayer of praise, when we ready our hearts to receive the GIFT of His everlasting love. 

God helps us rediscover the GIFT He lovingly gave to the world. He humbles our hearts. And in moments to remind us who handles our days, He fills us with strength and allows us to recognize peace in His presence.

We need Christmas! We need to be led where PRAISE and PEACE carry us through dreary days of doubt. And, we need to remember God sent His Son to bring HOPE for each one of us. 

The world will continue to challenge the source of our strength. But, Jesus will help us overcome! He overcame the cross and returned from death to show God through Him. The tiny baby born to die, lives because of Christmas!

God has given us the GIFT of His Son. We must take time to reflect on this beautiful season of HOPE. Christ will shine the light of love where darkness cannot hide. He will help us clearly see the reward of our faithfulness, if we surrender to Him, acknowledge Him as Lord of our lives and seek Him with all of our hearts!

Glory to God in the highest! He is HERE because HE LOVES US! Thank you, God for the amazing GIFT of Jesus. Thank you for preparing our hearts to welcome Him each and every day!

Dear God, Thank you for Your presence in our lives. Forgive us when we forget how much we need the love of Your faithfulness. Help us remember Your will was fulfilled through the Savior. Guide us EVERY moment of our days and help us be reminded of the precious GIFT You have already given to each one of us. Amen
