ISAÍAS 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.

Share this devotional with others as Vance K. Jackson expounds upon this powerful message entitled: "Let Your Light Shine". Be not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. You were not created to settle. You were not created to be ordinary. You were not created to be normal. Your results are not meant to be normal. You are not meant to stay stagnant. You were meant to grow and scale. You were meant to enlarge and expand. You were meant to conquer. Let God lead your heart as you read this powerful message.

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.

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!
