You were born with a song. You were created with a song that’s melody is the intrinsic fabric of your very soul.

“Father, I come to You in Jesus’ Name today with a broken heart… my heart is broken over the laws that have just been passed in New York State concerning the lives of innocent babies.”

I decided to change “me” and to then see what would happen to my January. I decided to think differently … and to anticipate differently … and to process differently.

I know, deep within my heart that the greatest call of my life is to be not to do. I am called to be like Jesus in every season and in every situation.

I still believe in the power of change and in the power of prayer. I still believe that I can develop self-control and discipline in my life even though at times in might be difficult.

I must choose not just to turn a calendar page – but I must turn the pages of my heart and mind as well toward all God has for me in 2019. Fill me with wonder again, Lord!  

The stockings have been hung by the chimney with care … and have been emptied by eager little hands.

I deeply desire for the message of Christmas to nestle its way into the recesses of your heart until you are changed forever.

There is only one possible response to the presence of the Lord and that is joy – even babies know that!  

To think that God would desire to use my ordinary life is a gift that I never imagined I could find under the Christmas tree of life!

Christmas is wonderful because of Him… because of a Baby that was born long ago and yet continues to live on in the hearts and lives of millions of believers across the scope of history whose lives have been revolutionized by the joy of His presence.

There is always … always … something for which to be grateful! Always!!
