Acts 20:35

We’ve all heard the old adage that it’s better to give than receive. Why? Because that’s when we truly exemplify the very nature of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It was the Lord Himself who said, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” There could never be a greater gift than the one Jesus gave to us. Out of hearts of gratitude we should pay forward the love, grace, and mercy He shows us daily. And when we bless others, we in turn are the ones who receive the blessing from God! (Prov. 19:17)

Luke 2:7

There is no greater example of love and humility than the manger in which Jesus lay. As almighty God, He came in the form not of a conquering King, but as a helpless baby. He exchanged His royal robes for simple cotton swaddling clothes, and left His heavenly throne to be placed in an animals feeding trough. There were no grand celebrations as He stepped into this world, instead He was attended to by simple shepherds, wisemen, and stable animals. And He did this out of His great love for the world and to offer salvation for all!

Have you noticed how difficult it is to keep up with society?  The culture of our society shifts constantly.  Everyone has a different standard of living and they all have expectations.  I have learned that expectations lead to disappointment.  And all the thoughts and plans I had in my mind haven’t quite worked out the way I envisioned them.

Matthew 1:21

Joseph was in turmoil. His fiancé, Mary, was pregnant and worse yet, claiming to still be a virgin. Wanting to send her away, Joseph was approached by an angel of the Lord telling him to instead take Mary as his bride. Now other men might have been scared away. But not Joseph. He obeyed God and as a result was blessed with the awesome job of caring for God’s only begotten Son; Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior of the world. Oh how awesome is our Father in heaven who so richly blesses our obedience above anything we could ever imagine!

1 John 1:7

There’s nothing better than standing in the light of the sun, and feeling the warmth of its rays upon our skin. But beyond the warmth, it also produces valuable Vitamin D that our bodies need to function. As Christians there’s nothing better than standing in the light of the Lord and feeling the warmth of His love and grace. When we walk in obedience to God, the fellowship we experience with Him and fellow believers nourishes our soul. And through the precious blood of Jesus, we are healed of our sins.
