Be the Light

“Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.” When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.—John 12:36 (NIV)
Today, on Christmas Eve, as we celebrate the life that is the light of mankind, thank God for filling your life with His light. Though difficult times may cast shadows, His light continues to shine inside of you. Praise Him for sending a precious baby to pierce the darkness of this world.
All-Powerful God, thank You for bringing Your heavenly glory to earth.

Decide in Your Heart

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.—2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)
