Let the Celebration Continue

 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.~Isaiah 9:6

Christmas has come, but it has not gone.  This year the excitement of Christmas was palatable.  I looked forward to spending time with loved ones.  There was a peace and joy that filled me to my core.   Guess what?  The peace and joy and the excitement is still here because Jesus is still here.

We celebrate the birth of Jesus and all that it means.  Life, hope, joy, and peace. Jesus was born and He also died on the Cross that I might be redeemed.  Better yet He arose from the grace conquering death and giving me and all who believe on and in Him eternal life.  Jesus is with me.  He is in my heart, so I still have Christmas.  

I have a Savior who is in control of all things.  I have a Counselor to guide me on this journey.  I serve a mighty God and I have Father who loves me.  I have peace.  So the celebration of Christ’s birth will continue.  The hope He brings will continue to fill my heart with gratitude for Jesus is the reason for every season. 

Father, I thank You for the birth of Your Son and all the benefits that it brings.  Thank You for the overflowing joy and sense of peace.  Thank You for Your light that shines bright.  Father, I pray a special blessing for those who are without loved ones this year.  Comfort them as only You can,  in Jesus name. Amen
