Psalm 42:11 (NIV) Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
Is it possible at this time of the year where joy is sung about, expressed, dramatized, shared among family and friends that some may be downcast?
Yes, it is, perhaps even you.
Today I want to encourage you to look to the God that created everything
you see. How's your faith? Have
you recognized God in the midst of your life?
Even as troubles, sickness, bankruptcy,
addictions, heartache, etc. are
at times part of this life....I want
you to look to the Author of Life. He's not an imaginary friend or he's not an excuse to go to church on Christmas Day. NO...he has loved & known you before you were even born. Perhaps you find that hard to believe...but that is what the Word of God
tells us. Don't rationalize it, excuse it, dismiss it, but press in and receive by faith what he is telling you. No one loves
you like Jesus! This little child, born
in a manger, grew up, lived, and then died for you & for
me...because he loves us! Receive his love.....keep your focus, your gaze upon
the Creator. He made you...knows you
better than anyone else...knows you better
than you know yourself. Rest in his arms.....Let the joy that God gives well up
in you……His love, joy & peace….rest in him! Merry Christmas!
God bless you!~Liz
