Immanuel

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which translated means, “God with us.”~Mathew 1:23

Immanuel! God with us! I am so grateful for God’s gift.  I am grateful for His good will and peace towards men for without Jesus I would surely be lost.  My Father is with me.  He dwells inside of me.  He fills me with His Spirit and I am humbled.  

I am humbled that my Lord would think of me and love me.  I am grateful that He chose to send His Son to walk among us teaching us how to be in relationship with the Father.  I am grateful for His gift of forgiveness, grace, and mercy. 

I am overcome with joy knowing that God is with me. I am not alone and all is well with my soul. Immanuel, God is with me, so I have nothing to fear and no need to worry.  Immanuel, God is  with me, thus I am safe and secure even when  trouble is all around me. Immanuel, God is with me and I am blessed. I am blessed to celebrate Christmas everyday because the gift of God is eternal.  

Father I thank You for being with me.  I thank You for gift of your Son and my King.  May I celebrate the gift of You every day.  May my heart rejoice and my spirit be full of joy as I worship You in spirit and in truth.  May I bow before You and submit to your will.  May I stay in your presence and continually seek your face.  May I share the gift of You with others as I abound in your love.  In Jesus name I pray. Amen
