I wanted to do something different for today’s devotion and just walk through some scripture and take time to pray with you guys about what tomorrow means and why it means so much. When we focus on the birth of Christ, we focus on the love of God for sending His son. It says in the book of Romans that “I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Nothing will ever be able to separate you from the love of God!
Pray with me the prayer of one of my favorite theologians, A.W. Tozer: Our Father in heaven, we your children are often troubled in mind, hearing within us at once the affirmations of faith and the accusations of conscience. We are sure that there is in us nothing that could attract the love of One holy and as just as you are. Yet you have declared Your unchanging love for us in Christ Jesus. If nothing in us can win your love, nothing in the universe can prevent you from loving us. Your love is uncaused and undeserved. You are the reason for the love in which we are loved. Help us to believe in the intensity, the eternity of the love that has found us. Then love will cast out fear; and our troubled hearts will be at peace, trusting not in what we are but in what you have declared yourself to be. Amen. Merry Christmas!
