The more we focus on his love for us, in spite of our imperfections, the more he fills us with his spirit, to Love others like he loves us. May we find someone to Love today, in spite of THEIR imperfections, and may it reflect back to Jesus` perfect love.
We love, because He first loved us.

Jesus said this……do you believe? May your day be filled with the light of Jesus today, no matter, what the circumstances are. May he fill you with his presence, this Holiday season, and may the joy of Christmas, fill your heart. (Love came down – 1 Cor 13)
Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
John 8:12 NASB

You and I, need to really think hard and Long on this passage. This is not a suggestion, it IS a command. I want us to think about who our enemies might be. Take some time to pray about what it might look like to Love our enemies! If we want to change our city, our, county, our state, our nation, our world, what would it look like, to Love our enemies? I know it has to start with our own changed heart, through the power of the Holy Spirit and the Grace of God, through Jesus. What will we do, how will we take action? It is certainly a great time of year, to do something! Would you agree? Praying our Christmas season of giving, will include our enemies. Have a Blessed day.
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.
Luke 6:35 NASB

Father, may we give sacrificialy this season, not so we might get praise from men, but so you might be well pleased with us, and our hearts, doing what is right, out of love.
But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
Matthew 6:3 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/mat.6.3/426
Just as God chose Jesus, he chose us before the foundations of the earth. May we follow Jesus lead, and may the Father be well pleased in our service, and our proclaiming the Good News to both Jew and Gentile.
” behold , my servant whom I have chosen ; my beloved in whom my soul is well – pleased ; I will put my spirit upon Him , and he shall proclaim justice to the gentiles .

We Are Not Ashamed………. For I am not a ashamed of the gospel , for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. May the grant us all strength, to stand firm in our faith, through his Holy Spirit. Thank you, Jesus.
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ” but the righteous man shall live by faith .”
Romans 1:17 NASB

Lord, may our hearts humbly bow before you, in persistent prayer. May we be alert, to the needs of others, so we might lift them up. Reveal yourself to us, through answered prayer, even though it may not be, what we wanted the outcome to be. May we always remember, that you care about us and love hearing our petitions.
Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;

Hundreds of years in the past, a promise was made, through the prophet Isaiah. Thank you God, for always keeping your promises! It may not always be in our timing, but it is always in yours.
