Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. —Isaiah 7:14
Hark! The herald angels sing,“Glory to the newborn King;Peace on earth, and mercy mild,God and sinners reconciled!” —Wesley

He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation. —Ephesians 2:14
Mild He lays His glory by,Born that man no more may die.Born to raise the sons of earth,Born to give them second birth. —Wesley
Thinkin’.. it’s His birthday, and what’d He’d like to receive most, is you, is your heart, is your future so that He will bless, help, guide and non-stop be with you cuz of love.
All to Jesus, I surrender, all to Him I freely give; I will ever love and trust Him, in His presence daily live. —Judson W. Van De Venter
Sometimes it’s like.. No flesh! You’ve been loud, you always basically say "Rush, rush, rush so you won't miss out, Kurt" (not a real voice but you know what I mean). Yet, it ain’t really time to hastily rush and run out the door so fast before I get with my first-love.
Dear Lord, Please bless and use us this Christmas to be a blessing to others. Yes, and beyond the Holidays too. Bless us so that we can slow down to hear from You well with a heart to obey. We need You Jesus. Amen.
When I spending time with Jesus.. when I take the time to seek God, the circumstances in my day still seem flawed at times, but my day just goes better and I have peace. I am trying early.. learning to listen ever as carefully as I can to what the Lord might want to speak to my heart. You know, there seems to be so many things on my heart that I really want to do the moment I wake up, but I’m trying to first pause early to listen. I am asking Him for grace and to allow me to grow in this area, as such grace to obey and pause and hear accurately is indeed a gift that I must confess I have buried with business for a good portion of my Christian walk. God has been patient with me. Thanks Lord, for more grace to please you.
The Lord is my shepherd.
I will always have everything I need.
He gives me green pastures to lie in.
He leads me by calm pools of water.
He restores my strength.
He leads me on right paths to show me He is good.
Even if I walk through a valley as dark as the grave,
I will not be afraid of any danger, because You are with me.
Your rod and staff comfort me.
You prepared a meal for me in front of my enemies.
You welcomed me as an honored guest.
My cup is full and spilling over.
Your goodness and mercy will be with me all of my life,
and I will live in the Lord’s house a long, long time.Psalm 23 Easy-to-Read Version
