Mid-Week Encouragement December 11th, 2024
This Christmas season, take a moment to cherish the gift of family and loved ones, treasuring the bonds that bring joy and warmth to our hearts. The Bible reminds us of the importance of love and connection, especially during this season of celebration.
1 John 4:7
"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God."
Let this season be an opportunity to show love in simple yet meaningful ways—through kindness, forgiveness, and spending quality time together.
The birth of Christ, celebrated at Christmas, is the ultimate symbol of God’s love for us. Isaiah 9:6 proclaims: "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." This gift reminds us to share joy, peace, and gratitude with those closest to us.
As you gather with your loved ones, hold onto the truth of Ecclesiastes 3:1: "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven." Embrace this time together, creating memories and strengthening relationships, as these moments are precious and fleeting.
May your home be filled with love, laughter, and the light of Christ this Christmas. Treasure the blessings of your family, and may this season bring you closer to God and each other. Merry Christmas!
