Oh, that love would abound in the hearts of people. That no child would be forgotten. That no person would go hungry. That hearts would heal from the pain of brokenness. That kindness would be sprinkled everywhere. That the gifts given in love would be just right. That forgiveness would be present. That our hearts would be tenderized by the magic of the season all year long. That addictions would be broken. That life would be good for everyone. That’s my prayer for Christmas. Let it begin with you and with me. Together, let’s celebrate the gift of Christmas, Christ Jesus. He is the reason for this season.
Father, thank you for journeying life with us. Thank you for family, friends and the moments we share. May this Christmas bring peace, joy, hope and may love abound. May the birth of Jesus be celebrated in the hearts of man, all across this globe, I pray.
May our gift to you, oh God, to be vessels to share the good news of salvation. The best gift ever given, Jesus. He can’t be bought with money, doesn’t like to be put in a box, and doesn’t hide behind the tree. He dwells within the heart of man. Oh, that many will accept salvation and find the true meaning of Christmas, that’s my prayer.
Oh, how I love the Christ of Christmas! Merry Christmas 2017
Acts 4:10,12 Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead…There is salvation in no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.
