“In This Veil of Tears We Call Life” — Christmas Devotional

"I heard a voice that spoke loudly from the throne. It said, 'Look! God's home is now among people! God will live together with them. They will be His people. God Himself will be with them and He will be their God.""' Revelation 21:3 EASY

“As we celebrate Christmas, we remember how Jesus makes the love of God personal and lasting. In the ‘veil of tears’ we call life, He weeps with us when we weep and rejoices with us when we rejoice. And through all the laughter and tears, He brings the promise of better things to come.” Henri Nouwen

“God will take away all the tears from their eyes. Nobody will ever die again. Nobody will be sad again. Nobody will ever cry. Nobody will have pain again. Everything that made people sad has now gone. That old world has completely gone away.’” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭4‬ ‭EASY‬‬

God’s Chosen Route for Our Infant Savior — This is Christmas!

“To think that God chose a humble girl in an unknown town in Galilee to become the sanctuary of the Word — Who would become flesh and dwell among us! Yes, lowly Mary became the Incarnaton route for God’s only Son, Jesus, to enter our human lostness as our infant Savior. Amazing, indeed. This is Christmas.” -kww

“When You Pray…” [The Secret Place]

““When you pray, don’t be like hypocrites. They love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners so that people will see them. I assure you, that’s the only reward they’ll get. But when you pray, go to your room, shut the door, and pray to your Father who is present in that secret place. Your Father who sees what you do in secret will reward you.” Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭CEB‬‬

Lord, Teach Me to Pray, Again…

“Already Being Poured Out as a Drink Offering”

Follow-up to Men’s Bible Study i led this morning from 2 Timothy 4:6a — “I am already being poured out as a drink offering…” Oswald Chambers said this: “Are you ready to be poured out as a drink offering? It is an act of your will, not your emotions. Tell God you are ready to be offered as a sacrifice for Him. Then accept the consequences as they come., without complaining, in spite of what God may send your way… Tell God you are ready to be poured out as an offering, and God will prove Himself to be all you ever dreamed He would be.”
