Many people think of holidays as anything but ‘holy days.’ Yet holidays provide opportunities to create God-centered celebrations and memories whose impact will linger far into the future. Don’t rush into or hurry past these opportunities. Let God’s presence infuse this holiday season with eternal significance. Take time to gain His perspective, focus on the people in front of you, and express God’s love to others.
We love because he first loved us.—1 John 4:19
Prayer: Jesus, we don’t want to just survive the holidays, we want to live each day as holy, set apart by You for Your purposes. Your love has given our lives hope and meaning. In these holy days, may we share Your love with all we meet. Let our lives shine Your light into the world, spreading grace and encouragement this holiday season. This we ask in Your name, amen.
