Luke 2:10-11

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

Lord, on this Christmas Eve as the light of your Word penetrates our hearts, as we are reminded of the gift of life and faith, as the glories of the heavenly hosts are echoed in churches all over the world, I open myself up to your Spirit and give you thanks. I am grateful, Lord Jesus, that your story has become our story, and we celebrate your birth. I continue to pray, that you instill in my heart and the hearts of all who confess your name, a profound sense of your abiding presence, and help us to take to heart the wonder of your love, that we may walk in your ways and delight in your will. Help us all, Lord, to be the faithful, gracious, loving, giving and forgiving people you would have us be. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Amen!
