Grace born at Christmastime...
"Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
-1 Corinthians 1:3
This time of year life gets a little crazy. The celebration of Christmas and the New Year causes so much activity that we often forget the real purpose - celebrating!
This time each year, I pray that I will reflect God's love to all I meet, representing Jesus in all I do and say. Nevertheless, sometimes I fail.
By the free gift of God's grace, our individual ministry to others, during this holiday season and throughout the year, is given to us. "I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me," Paul said in Ephesians 3:7. By God's grace and his work within each of us, our individual ministries to others will make a mark in his plan.We must recognize that "all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).
Jesus was born to show God's grace in human form and this pattern of grace fits the entire plan of God, which is perfect.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for your grace modeled for me through the life of my Savior, your Son, whom we celebrate this season. Amen.
un grand Merci à ceux qui passent ici tous les mois ! plus de mille ce mois ci !!
