May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit Romans 15: 13
We attend holiday functions, purchase gifts and exhaust ourselves in celebration of a day that passes too quickly. And when all is said and done, thereās often an empty feeling when we have to say, āgoodbyeā to Christmas.
God sent His Son for MORE than one day of recognition... Often, we forget God prepares us to receive Him EVERY day of our lives. Jesus came to bring hope, peace and joy to our hearts. God provided a miracle and Jesus came to earth! He knows the human side of weakness. We DONāT have to say āgoodbyeā to the present of His presence in our lives.
God helps us understand how to joyfully anticipate the gift of Jesus. He helps us find strength in EVERY situation. He guides us toward His greatness when we choose to follow Him. Only He can show us how to find PEACE and recognize why we don't have to live without it.
Abundant JOY isnāt found under the Christmas Tree. It's not packaged for only a day to make us feel happy. Godās love is everlasting! His gift to the world is offered to each one of us! But we must open our hearts wide enough and faithfully choose to receive.
God will set the stage for whatās to come. He knows the needs of His children. We must be willing to trust in Him, BELIEVE in the power of His love and NEVER forget who WILL handle ALL things. We must not be sad to say āgoodbyeā to Christmas! āJoy to the world, the Lord has comeā. Let us praise Him for His everlasting presence and be joyful! He is near. He is HERE, EVERY single day of our lives.
Dear God, Thank you for Christmas and the time weāve enjoyed with family and friends.Thank you for what fills us with happy thoughts of joy. Help us embrace a grateful heart for Jesus, so we will treasure the gift of His amazing grace and remember why we will NEVER have to be without it. Amen
