"May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ." -II Thessalonians 3:5 (NASB)
Watching T.V. at this time of year, we can't help but see specials and commercials about Christmas wishes and the "magic" of Christmas. As we move into the Christmas season and New Year's celebrations, we often offer each other well wishes, whether through cards or at holiday gatherings. When we consider our wishes for each other, we should remember the wish of Paul to the church in Thessalonica.
When writing to the church in Thessalonica, Paul wanted the church to be sustained in its faith and to flourish in its mission. We should want the same for each other. We should want all of our hearts to be directed into God's love and into His everlasting grace and mercy. Not only in this Christmas season, but throughout the whole year, we should prayerfully send wishes for the direction of the Lord in our lives and in the lives of others!
Send daily wishes of God's love and everlasting direction to others the whole year through!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your love and for being steadfast. Please direct my thoughts and deeds each and everyday so that others can see Your love and glory through me. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
