“COME TO GOD with your gaping emptiness, knowing that in GOD you are complete. As you rest quietly in GOD’S Presence, HIS Light within you grows brighter and brighter. Facing the emptiness inside you is simply the prelude to being filled with The LORD’S fullness. Therefore, rejoice on those days when you drag yourself out of bed, feeling sluggish and inadequate. Tell yourself that this is a perfect day to depend on GOD in childlike trust. If you persevere in this dependence as you go through the day, you will discover at bedtime that Joy and Peace have become your companions. You may not realize at what point they joined you on your journey, but you will feel the beneficial effects of their presence. The perfect end to such a day is a doxology of gratitude. GOD is HIM from whom all blessings flow!”
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” MATTHEW 5 : 3 – 6
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. COLOSSIANS 2 : 9 – 10
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD. PSALM 150 : 6
Prayer: Lord during this busy Christmas season help me to make time to rest quietly in your presence letting you fill me with joy and peace and strength. On days I feel I’m lacking, remind me to tell myself this is a perfect day to depend on you in childlike trust. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
