“Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.” Psalm 27:14 NIV

Mary waited for the Lord. While she lovingly prepared for the birth of our Savior, she allowed God to guide her. In the midst of worry and wonder, He revealed His presence. He led her on a path of purpose and opened her heart for PEACE. 

God blesses our faithfulness. He humbles us with HOPE and provides everything we need. In the timing of His will, He reminds us to keep on going… He helps us learn to be patient as we’re prepared to handle ALL things.  

We will travel on paths unknown but God has a plan! He will cover us with mercy, grace and help us persevere. He will prepare us to receive the gift of Christ and welcome the offering of His love. 

God will take care of us, even when we can’t see what’s to come. He will lead us on the journey and remind us how it feels to TRUST. He will show how He’s working in our lives and help us make room for Jesus. 

How will you welcome the Christ child and open your heart for His?  He is deserving of ALL of our love. God’s will was fulfilled when Jesus came to bring light to the darkness and remind us of the power of His love. Let our prayers for PEACE strengthen our hearts with faithful belief! God will ALWAYS take care of us.  

Dear God, thank you for Christmas and the HOPE which brings PEACE from Your presence. Open our hearts, so we will make room for Jesus. Calm us with the breath of heaven and hold us in Your holiness, so we will find STRENGTH as we TRUST in YOU and journey through life TOGETHER. Thank you, Lord! Thank you for Your everlasting LOVE.  Amen
