Celebrate Freedom and Love
Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God…—1 Peter 2:16–17 (NIV)
That energy is God’s energy, an energy deep within you.—Philippians 2:13 (MSG)
Weave prayer into all parts of your day—morning, noon and night. Share your problems and worries and praise Him for your blessings. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “If you live in conscious communication with God you receive of His power, His health, His wellbeing, His zest, His energy.”
Gracious God, fill me with joy and help me cherish the approaching holidays.
