When Elizabeth, Mary’s relative, gave birth to her son, they named Him
John, just as the angel told them…
“Do not be afraid Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife
Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you re to give him the name John.
He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his
birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord…
And He will go on before the Lord in the spirit and the power of Elijah to
turn the hearts of the father’s to their children.. to make ready a people
for the Lord….
After this, his wife Elizabeth, became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion…
“The Lord has done this for me, she said, He has shown His favor and taken away my disgrace among the people…”
Luke 1:25
God’s love shone bright…
He heard the cries of their heart, and He had a plan no one could
understand…
His love so deep.
He grace so tender.
Zachariah sang over His new baby boy a song of hope for all the world…
“…. and You my child,
will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you
will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for Him to give His people
the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins because
of the tender mercy of our God by which the rising son will come to us
from heaven to she on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death
to guide our feet into the path of peace…”
Luke 1:76-79
Heavenly Father…
My heart cries out to You…
Your love rains down from heaven and touches every part of my soul…
How wonderful Your truths are..
How miraculous is the Christmas season..
Soften our souls, Oh Lord…
May we be witnesses to all the beauty and tenderness this season bears..
May Christmas be a glowing ember of hope to the weary…
May we slow down enough to let Your loving grace permeate our lives…
May we reflect on Your light of hope that shined on our darkness, and
healed our disgrace…
May our heart’s reflect You…
May my spirit rejoice in the love You poured over me…
You found me in my despair, and You gave my life meaning…
May my life be a sweet fragrance unto You…
My King…
In Jesus Name,
I pray,
Amen
Live in Love,
