Jesoiya 61:6

We are excited about this time of year. Christmas!!! Joy to the world the Lord has come. This holiday should be one to remember. Although, many of us have gone through a season where we may have lost a loved one or even went through a divorce. We have great news for you, Jesus is still here for you and He has a gift worth looking forward to receiving.

God, through His Word, gives a pretty clear picture of what it means to love unconditionally. This type of love isn’t just meant to be a four-letter word—it’s a way of being. It’s something that should pour out of us so naturally that it is present within every action—and in the ways we are called to fill in the gaps and be there for those around us. This truth was the heart of the civil rights movement, and this truth defined Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision for all to be recipients of justice and compassion.

You are who God says you are, and that is a fact. But if you do not believe in it, then who else will? This plan will encourage you to seek your identity, purpose, and calling in the One who formed you in your mother's womb and knew you long before you were conceived.

How many of us have said this year will be different? My prayer is that it really will be. God designed us with a specific purpose. And the life He's given us is meant to be lived pursuing that purpose. Not looking back or standing stagnant, but relentlessly going after Him with passion and expectation. My prayer is that this devotional aids you in that pursuit. Ok, Ready, Set GO!
