📖 Verse of the Day

Reflection

Angels to shepherds, a night sky ablaze with glory, and a stable transformed into a throne—this is how heaven celebrated the greatest moment in history: “Today... a Savior has been born to you.” Not a message of judgment or rules, but of pure joy. A gift. A Savior. Born for you.

The shepherds didn’t hesitate; they ran to Bethlehem and found exactly what the angel promised—a baby, wrapped in cloths, lying in a manger. Humble. Simple. Divine. The King of kings, welcomed not by royalty, but by shepherds. The Lord of all, resting in a feeding trough. The Author of life, beginning His earthly story with the cry of a newborn.

This morning, we too are invited to Bethlehem, to gaze in wonder, to kneel in worship, and to receive the greatest gift ever given. Jesus came not just to enter the world but to enter your heart. He came for the weary, the broken, the searching. He came for you.

Let this truth transform your celebration today: Heaven’s greatest treasure stepped down to make you His own. This is joy. This is Christmas.

Dear Father,

As the sun rises on this Christmas morning, my heart swells with a joy that only You could give. Thank You for Jesus, my Savior, my King, born to bring me back to You. Let the wonder of that first Christmas fill me afresh today.

May the carols I sing, the gifts I share, every moment of this day, be a reflection of the love that brought You from heaven to a manger. You gave Your everything for me. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude. Help me to live this day, and every day, for You.

In Jesus' holy name, Amen.

🖋 Quote of the Day

"Who can add to Christmas? The perfect motive is that God so loved the world. The perfect gift is that He gave His only Son. The only requirement is to believe in Him. The reward of faith is that you shall have everlasting life."
