“The most important resolution you can make as another year approaches is this: to open your heart and life to Jesus Christ, and commit your life to Him. Don’t waste your time on resolutions that don’t ultimately matter; resolve instead to live for Christ.” —Billy Graham

Our hard times can be holy times, close-to-God times. And wherever God is, good is being worked.

Are you discouraged with the hustle and bustle of activities and commercialism of the season? Or overwhelmed by the chaos in the world? There's another way of celebrating our Savior's birth with quiet waiting and meditation with God through this season. amazon.com/Waiting-Christ…

In eternity, perfection will greet us like a long-lost friend. We won’t be hurt. We won’t live hurt. We won’t be disappointed & we won’t live disappointed. Not in people, ourselves or God.

The more we understand that our identity in Christ is continually secure and that no misstep, rejection, or judgment could ever change that, the more liberated we become from the opinions of others.

As the day draws to a close, may you embrace God's grace, trusting He’ll fill every gap. Instead of being unsettled by your imperfections, may you be undone by Jesus' perfect love for you. Instead of fretting over your missteps, rejoice that He never left your side today.

Our God is a God of completion. He makes promises and then He fulfills them. They may take longer than we’d like and the journey may be harder than we expected, but we can rest assured that our God will always be found faithful.

When you train your thoughts and your gaze to look for the gifts from God’s hand, you’ll start to believe—down deep in your bones—that you not only have a history with God, but you have a future with Him too. It’s impossible for Him to fail you.

I don’t know who feels glaringly absent in your life right now. But rejection from man doesn’t equal rejection from God. He is near. He loves you. And He will never leave or forsake you. Let His presence comfort you today, friend.

May God’s kingdom come to you, your family, and your friends this season. May the Holy Spirit stir up a hunger and a thirst to know Jesus for who he is. May Christmas miracles abound for you this year.

2 Peter 3:9 HCSB The Lord does not delay His promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance. #VerseOfTheDay
