And I pray that
Christ will make his home
in your hearts through faith. I pray that you
may have
your roots and foundation in love.
Ephesians 3:17 TEV
The birth of Jesus, the true reason for the
season, was a beautiful, wonderful, magical time. An angel appeared to
lowly shepherds, and a brilliant star led a trio of wise men to a stable where
the savior of the world awaited them. But I wonder what happened after that
holy night. Did the shepherds and wise men go back to business as usual with
fond memories of the awe they experienced, or did the events change their hearts
and lives forever?
This year, prepare a special place in your heart
for the Christ of Christmas. He is no longer the babe in a manger. He is our
risen savior—King of kings and Lord of lords. Celebrate Him, not only this
Christmas, but every single day throughout the year.
May He truly make
his home in your hearts through faith.

This year, as you celebrate the holiday season with friends and family, prepare a special place in your heart
for the Christ of Christmas. Rejoice at his birth, but remember ... He is no longer the babe in the manger. He is our
risen Savior. King of kings and Lord of lords. Emmanuel. God with us. Celebrate Him, not only at Christmas, but every single day throughout the year.
