God’s Love Letter to Us

Did you know that God has written us a love letter?

It’s true, and it’s available for you to read any time.

It’s called the Holy Bible and in it God has told us of his deep love for us and his desire for us to love Him as well. In fact, God not only loves us, but 1 John 4:8 tells us that He IS love. Love is a Person…God.

 

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. ~1 John 4:8

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. ~1 John 4:15-16

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. ~1 Corinthians 13:13

Wishing you all a Happy Valentine’s Day!

And the Word became Flesh

 

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

 

John 1:14: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

Luke 2:11: “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”

John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Luke 2:10: “And the angel said unto them, ‘Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.'”

 

Christmas Dinner Prayer

Father God,  On this joyful Christmas Day, we thank You for the incredible gift of Your Son, Jesus, whose birth we celebrate.

Bless this meal we are about to share. May it nourish our bodies and remind us of Your endless love and grace. Thank You for the hands that prepared it and for the abundance of blessings You have poured into our lives.

We are especially grateful for the gift of family and the love that surrounds this table. Thank You for the relationships that bring us joy and connection. May our time together be filled with laughter, warmth, and cherished memories.

We also lift up those in need today. Surround them with Your love and care, and guide us to show compassion and generosity to others, just as You have shown to us.

As we gather, let Your spirit of giving and kindness shine through us, and may the love of Christ fill our hearts and our home.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
