The Gift of Worship

The days leading up to Christmas are a chance to fill our lives with a renewed hope, I call it the Breath of Heaven. But how do we keep the joy of Christmas once we return to our normal lives? After coming so close to the manger? 

Jesus came to bridge the gap between us and God. He came to bring the hope of Heaven to our lives. Jesus was born to die for our sins, to show us the love of the Father. Jesus also came to advance the Kingdom of God on earth. To be our bridge in making right our relationship with God. The Holy Spirit helps in those efforts, empowering us and equipping us to be the children of God and to live as He calls us to live. And to share Jesus! 

Ask God to reveal His great love for you. You will be in awe of His revelations of how wide His love is for you. You will be amazed that He knows you so fully yet forgives you completely. You will be comforted by His mercy. Let your heart receive Jesus and worship Him! 

He has already displayed His heart for you on the cross and given you Hope to carry on! Your life can be your spiritual worship when you pattern your life after Jesus (Romans 12:1-2). Jesus gave a charge to join Him and promised He would stick with us until the end! (Matthew 28:20). 

Consider this: The Breath of Heaven invites us to reclaim the wonder of worship and the spirit of Christmas. What an opportunity but moreover...what a promise!! Come away with awe and wonder of His Majesty this Christmas. He wants us to reflect His awe-inspiring light to those who are stale or living complacently. Worship the wonderful Christ Child and receive His new life that carries us through our year. Worship daily and often! 

Advent reflection: Let’s worship Him with purity of heart and with true gladness. May your rapt attention be ON Christ, the One who bleeds through eternity, and brought Hope down to you. See the promise of Emmanuel and let the awe and wonder mark your heart to always give opportunity to worship.
