“This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.” 1 John 4:9 NIV

Did you ever wonder where love comes from? When you see the love between a man and his wife, where does that come from? Or the love between a parent and a child? Love comes from God, because God is love. While it’s challenging to alleviate the stresses of this season, we can take time to refocus and remember just how much we are loved, valued, forgiven, and empowered in this season.

On Christmas love came down, so Jesus could lift us up!

Declaration Prayer: Lord, thank You for loving us so much that You gave Your Son, the greatest gift of all for us, even before we loved You. Thank You for inviting us into Your family. Please help us to love one another in perfect harmony as we celebrate the birth of your Son. In Jesus' Name Amen
