Remember that the gift of Christ, Immanuel, is our greatest treasure, not just at Christmas, but for the whole year through.
We need His presence with us every single day.
We need His wisdom, strength and power to be present in us to make us strong and courageous for the road ahead.
God has promised that He will never leave us, that He will be our Refuge and our Strength, and an ever-present Help in trouble.
Our world desperately needs peace and hope. It can only be found in the Prince of Peace. I pray that God will help us to be generous and kind, and look to the needs of others this year.
Let us pray together that God will strengthen His servants, scattered around the world, to be the hands and feet of Jesus--especially in places where war, violence, famine, and sickness are devastating families and communities.
"all human helpers are channels, but God is the inexhaustible Source." Dr. Chidi Okoroafor
May we make a difference in this world. May we see His goodness this year.
Let's enter 2024 ready to live the life He wants for us!
Happy New Year everyone!
