On their way to Bethlehem, suddenly the same star they had seen in the East reappeared! Amazed, they watched as it went ahead of them and stopped directly over the place where the child was. 10 And when they saw the star, they were so ecstatic that they shouted and celebrated with unrestrained joy. 11 When they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, they were overcome. Falling to the ground at his feet they worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure boxes full of gifts and presented him with gold, frank-incense, and myrrh. Matthew 2:10-11 The Passion Translation
Jesus Came To Us
Everyone was anticipating the birth of a deliverer, a savior. There was limited freedom, limited joy, limited rejoicing. Then the miraculous happened, Jesus came to us, Christmas morning. We should never get over this joy. Jesus came to us. His life was and is greatly rejoiced even unto this day. Jesus was the sought-after Deliverer; He was then and He is today. Jesus is still the Deliverer! In the worst of times, God is still at His best. He still can and He can do things so miraculously, that it will it light up the darkness like it was never dark. Tis The Season For Bright Glorious Lights.
Are You Worshipping Fear?
The enemy wants to steal our freedom. We listen to the voices of fear. We allow the fear of sickness and death to road block us in. Jesus came to deliver us from this kind of fear that keeps us from doing the things our freedom has granted us. We get road blocked by people’s fear, by our fear, by the anxiety caused by fear. Who do we worship? What do we worship? Do we worship fear? Have we become hindered by fear? Road blocked by fear? Are we unnavigable by God’s Holy Spirit because we have put up a road block of irrational fear? It is time to look up and see the STAR, rejoice with great joy that our Redeemer, our Deliverer is here, now. Tis The Season To Be Fearless.

When they saw the Star, they rejoiced with great joy. Revive your JOY this Christmas by shaking off the fear, cleanse your life of fear and rejoice with great JOY. Jesus is here.

1 Corinthians 13:7 Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up. TPT
Think On This
Do you love the Christmas Savior? Love Always Trusts. Love always hopes. Love always patiently endures. Love always perseveres. The love of God will protect us. Why do we fear more than we love? Why are we more focused on what is wrong than what is right? Are we rejoicing in Christ our Savior this Christmas Season? Are we a Light of the JOY and hope of Jesus or are we overshadowed by fear? Jesus came to us. Do we come to Him? Is your connected to God in that wholly-holy kind of way. Tis The Season For Trust.
1 Corinthians 13:7 Or “Love bears all things.” Although commonly understood to mean that love can bear hardships of any kind, the nominalized form of the verb (stego) is actually the word for “roof” found in Mark 2:4. Paul is saying that love covers all things, like a roof covers the house. See 1 Peter 4:8. Love does not focus on what is wrong but will bear with the shortcomings of others. And like a roof protects and shields, you could say that love springs no leak. It is a safe place that offers shelter, not exposure. 1 Corinthians 13:7 Or “it never loses faith.” The Passion Commentary
No Greater Joy
The Christmas Story clearly shows how God changes up the impossible to be possible. There is no greater joy than to be a Christian in times such as these, and be God’s Servant Prayer Warrior, to pray it up and watch in faith, wait in hope of our God and see His Glory. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Our limitless possibilities in Christ bring us so much JOY as we step out of 2020 into 2021. This The Season Of Possibility.
