Are you looking for JESUS today? See HIM there, laying in the Manger. HE has come for you and for me! And the good news? HE never stops coming for us. HE is a faithful GOD, HE is a pursuing GOD of the universe.
HIS love and beautiful grace is steadfast and true. This Christmas we should be in awe of and marvel at HIS merciful love for us. It’s a love that existed before time and still exists now……..
YOU ARE LOVED
We say this at the end of every service at our Church in Mesa, AZ. This phrase I have known and come to embrace with all my being…….
JOHN 3: 16 “FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.”
For GOD so loved……..HE loved us even before we were born and HE loves us now, even in our sin. So what is our response to this Babe in the Manger? May we never grow complacent with Christmas! May we never grow tired of the message and the story…….
LUKE 2: 11 “FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN THIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOR, WHO IS CHRIST THE LORD.”
Look for Christ the LORD this Christmas. Oh we look for all the lights and presents under the tree, but what about the Baby wrapped tightly in cloths laying in a Manger?
LUKE 2: 12 “AND THIS WILL BE THE SIGN TO YOU: YOU WILL FIND A BABE WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHS LYING IN A MANGER.”
You…….will…….find. A SAVIOR! JESUS HAS COME AND ALL OF HEAVEN SINGS A GLORIOUS SONG!
LUKE 2: 14 “GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST HEAVEN AND PEACE ON EARTH TO PEOPLE HE FAVORS.”
JESUS has come for us and HIS message is clear: all who believe in HIM, all who have looked and searched will be changed by HIM. Because JESUS came to save us from our sin and ourselves.
The best place to kneel in awe is at the stable…….a HOLY GOD in a Manger! See HIM there, JESUS who took on human skin to grow up and live among us! HE is JESUS, HE is CHRIST the LORD!
MAY JESUS AND HIS LOVE AND PEACE AND FAVOR BE UPON US ALL DURING THIS SEASON OF LIGHT AND LOVE. AND MAY OUR HEARTS BE MORE CHANGED TO BE LIKE HIS……..A HEART OF SALVATION AND LOVE!
MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!

God bless you, Maxine. ☺️

Thank you, my Dear Sister. That truly means a lot to me. ❤️
My words for 2026 would be faithful, to keep pursuing what God has called me to do, learn, to study His Word deeper and I even want to begin learning Hebrew, and bold, to not be afraid to speak about God, pray out loud, and live more fully as a disciple.
I love your words, Brave and Joy.
Praying we both walk in them, no matter the season.
You Are so Loved and I am Praying for the day that we can worship together…. 🙏
May the Lord Bless You with Peace, Joy, Hope and Healing in 2026
