Merry Christimas!

Not everyone is looking forward to celebrating Christmas just like the others. There's going to be an empty seat at their table now. Some with an empty space under their Christmas tree. Some with wet pillowcases and broken hearts. It's hard for some people to celebrate this season, so my prayer for today is that we might be more sensitive and show compassion, comfort and understanding to those struggling. To those of you seeing Christmas as a time not of joy but of sorrow and in grief, this is my prayer for you: Lord, thank You for understanding those who are hurting right now. It could be because of loss, illness, lack, or brokenness. We know that tears are more than enough to communicate with You. Thank You because You are the God of Comfort, the God where they can cast all their anxieties because You care for them. Help them see that You are with them, not rushing their feelings and never pressuring them to do more than what they can at this time. You said in Your Word that ...

There's still color in broken colors

When things are broken, God never gives up. He begins with ruins, chaos, and brings forth beauty from ashes.  Ruined things are my defeat, but God's beginning.  It's not hopeless what you're going through, it's just an opportunity for God to show off who He is through his power-driven fingers.  If you wait on Him, your mess becomes a miracle.

Fellowship with the Holy Spirit

Growing spiritually is a matter of fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit and yielding to Him constantly.  The Holy Spirit is your Trainer and your Coach.  He knows your weaknesses and strengths. He has a personal development plan for you. He has goals for you to achieve. He knows the Father’s will for you. He will draw up your personal prayer life. He will tell you when to go into worship or when to put your petition before the Lord of Heaven. He will lead you to specific passages in the Word in line with your personal spiritual development. You grow strong in spirit by constantly sowing to the spirit realm. What is born of the Spirit is spirit. This is where many Bible students and seminarians preparing for the ministry make this common mistake.  They buy up many books to read, hear many tapes, go for one seminar after another, run after famous men and women of God, subscribe to their magazines, read their Bibles and even memorize whole passages but failed the one most imp...
