Respite For the Weary
Here we are in the beginnings of the Christmas season, and I already feel surrounded by lots of the swirling and twirling activities that accompany the season. Every year, I have to keep my heart in check, and consciously choose to Whom or what I will give my devotion. (Devotion: love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or a cause.) Will I choose Jesus or will I choose the season?
I invite you to join me in reading the 25-day devotional, "Who is this Jesus and Why did He Come?". Each day, 5 defining verses are provided for you to "be still in" during the rush of the holy-days. This small booklet can be found on-line at www.respitefortheweary.com.

Dear Lord God,
There is no greater love than your love! Jesus, you came to us; you gave your life on our behalf--your perfect one for our sinful one. We did nothing to deserve it. Because of you, we can experience true love that lasts forever. Cause our hearts to rest and rejoice in this truth. In your Name, Amen.
