Christmas Countdown

Please take a few moments away from the razzle-dazzle of the season.

Rest just a sec with your favorite warm drink.

Breathe deep.

Enjoy.

May your celebrations be blessed.

He Loves Us Still

We often disobey.

He loves us still.

We are not always “Be ye kind”.

He loves us still.

We are sometimes discontent with His provision.

He loves us still.

We are frequently distracted from focussing on Him.

He loves us still.

He speaks, we do not listen.

He love us still.

We hear, but we do not do.

He loves us still.

We are weak and flawed.

He loves us still.

We have no gifts to bring.

He loves us still.

 

He is the greatest gift ever given.

A King, disguised as a baby.

Incognito, to a world that would lift His name high.

Hidden, to a world that would seek His death.

A King whose only hearts desire is that we would glorify His Father.

See? There in the hay?

This gift seems so insignificant.

So small. So weak. So … human.

He knows what it is like to be us.

What will be our gift to Him?

The One who loves us still?

Significant Encounter Friday #5

Welcome to Significant Encounters Friday #5.

Please enjoy this story of how a Significant Encounter changed Mike’s life,

and how a God Encounter changed the life of a rag-tag bunch of shepherds so many years ago.

When the angels returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Let’s go right now to Bethlehem and see what’s happened. Let’s confirm what the Lord has revealed to us.” They went quickly and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. When they saw this, they reported what they had been told about this child. Everyone who heard it was amazed at what the shepherds told them. Mary committed these things to memory and considered them carefully. The shepherds returned home, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen. Everything happened just as they had been told. Luke 2:5-20 (CEB)

Have you, like the shepherds, ever had an unexpected God encounter—a moment in which you knew God had spoken, appeared, or called to you?
