"…the time came for the baby to be
born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped Him in
cloths and placed Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the
inn.” Luke 2:6-7
Yet, we easily get sucked in and wrapped up into "our" preparations and expectations of CHRISTmas being so much more... setting us up for frustration, sadness, exhaustion and disappointment. What we add to CHRISTmas has the potential to take away our joy.
Father, may it not be! I want to meet You at the manger first. May there always be room in my heart for You. There is no where we can go nor nothing we can do or say on our own that compares to the glorious gift of eternal life -- made possible only by the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus, for the forgiveness of our sins. Thank You.
Keeping room in our heart for Him, fills us with His Peace.
Merry CHRISTmas!
we are greatly loved and chosen by God,
