May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Romans 15:15 ESV Bible Gateway
This time of year it seems forced merriment is upon us. Don’t get me wrong, that is great and many people feel happier during this season.
This is a time where everyone seemingly wants to be kind as there are many opportunities to give. How do you feel in your heart? Rushed, pressured, sad, lonely, or are you bubbling over with the joy of the season anxious for the next gathering?
Take time to be still. The reason for the season is of course Jesus so don’t shove him to the back burner. Make sure your children, grandchildren and your neighbors know what this season is really about.
PRAYER: Father I don’t want to be forced into the cultures way of celebrating Christmas. Use me in the places I go to shine for you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
