Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “If, beginning this Christmas, you say to yourself ‘God, through Jesus Christ, is with me’ and repeat it daily through the long days and weeks, in happiness and discouragement, that is the greatest gift you can give the Christ Child.” On this second Sunday of Advent, reflect on the miracle that God is here. God is with us!
How comforting to know that You are here. Praise You, Jesus!

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.—John 3:8 (NIV)
