Christmas is a time for joy, sharing with family and
friends. Yet, so many people are deeply hurting --
physically, emotionally, and even spiritually.
Some of you have lost a loved one this past year.
Others are battling cancer or an ongoing illness.
Whatever your situation, God understands and He cares.
I pray you will experience His strength and hope
this Christmas in a brand new way, by focusing
on the baby in the manager -- God's Son, Jesus.
PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ THE FOLLOWING
When the Time Comes
By Max Lucado
"God will help you deal with whatever hard things
come up when the time comes."
Matthew 6:34 MSG
The last phrase is worthy of your highlighter:
"when the time comes."
"I don't know what I'll do if my husband dies."
You will, when the time comes.
"When my children leave the house, I don't think
I can take it." It won't be easy, but strength
will arrive when the time comes.
"I could never lead a church. There is too much
I don't know." You may be right. Or you may be
wanting to know everything too soon. Could it be that
God will reveal answers to you when the time comes?
The key is this: Meet today's problems with today's
strength. Don't start tackling tomorrow's problems
until tomorrow. You do not have tomorrow's strength
yet. You simply have enough for today.
