Evergreen, Everlasting Life
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.—John 3:16 (NIV)
I am like a tree that is always green; all your fruit comes from me.—Hosea 14:8 NLT
The Christmas tree is a symbol of our everlasting life with God. Just as the evergreen remains unchanged in winter, your relationship with the Divine is eternal. As you trim your tree with bright bulbs, meditate on the blessed Light God brings to your life.
Lord Jesus, thank You for Your eternal love that is always ready to forgive, restore and save me.
