Focus: John 1:4
In him was life, and that life was the light of all people.
In him was life, and that life was the light of all people.
Christmas is not always easy,
especially for individuals experiencing loss from
death, divorce, health, finances, and other painful circumstances
that produce sadness and grief within us.
Christmas can seem more like a chore than a
gift. Gifts, greeting cards,
get-togethers, and other seasonal traditions often enhance grief.
That said, there is a gift that can be
received in grieving . . .
as thoughts
and emotions are stripped . . .
an understanding
of what really matters in life can be received.
The
thing is . . .
Christmas is
about what really matters . . .
Life .
. . Immanuel, God with us.
Think on this precept today: Life came
. . . Immanuel . . . God with us.
1.
What really matters?
2.
What does it mean that in Christ . . . there was life . . . and
that life is light to and for us this Christmas?
3.
What needs to be stripped within you to experience the Life and
the Light?
Learning
with you to KICK START the day . . .
focused on what really matters this
Christmas,

Meditate
Are you convinced that the love of God is
more powerful than anything or anyone? Does your life reveal
that you are convinced?
Meditate on what it means to be convinced
that God sent His Son out of the power of love.
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through
him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither
angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither
height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate
us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39
Pray
with expectation.
Breath
prayer: Convinced of Your
Love
