Christmas Words Of Faith For A Receiving Heart Praise
Christ's name that is above all names. Pour
out your thanks to Him. Let
your gratitude extend beyond words. Let
your heart burst in love for Him. At
Christmastime you begin to remember Christmases of the past. Sometimes
you drift off in remembering how things used to be instead of seeing how Christ
is blessing things as they are now. Sometimes
you think about the way things might have been, or should have been, or could
be. When
you are in a state of nostalgia, confess to Christ how you are leaving Him out
of your heart and mind in the here and now. When
you are in a nostalgic mood, you too often think only of yourself. When
you are caught up in selfish nostalgia, your heart is closed off from Christ. So,
this Christmas, as you think of Christmases past and you think of Christmases to
come, make your heart a receiving heart. This
Christmas season, believe in Christ and trust Him more. Christ
will help you to be a mighty person of faith, so when you dream about things, He
is the focus of your dreams. This
Christmas season… Open
your heart so you can see Christ's angels. Open
your heart so you may see the Magi coming to visit Him. Open
your heart so you may see the shepherds outside the manger where Christ was
born. Open
your heart and Christ will speak to you again and again so you will know He
loves you. Praise
His Name. Amen. |
