Mark 1:3 “a voice of one calling in the
desert, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’ ”
John 1:14 The Word became flesh and
made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and
Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Prepare
your heart for the celebration of My birth. Listen to the voice of John the
Baptist: “Prepare the way for the Lord; make straight paths for Him.”
Christmas
is the time to exult in My miraculous incarnation, when the Word became flesh
and dwelt among you. I identified with mankind to the ultimate extent—becoming
a Man and taking up residence in your world. Don’t let the familiarity of this
astonishing miracle dull its effect on you. Recognize that I am the Gift above
all gifts, and rejoice in Me!
Clear out
clutter and open up your heart by pondering the wonders of My entrance into
human history. View these events from the perspective of the shepherds, who
were keeping watch over their flocks at night.
They
witnessed first one angel and then a multitude of them lighting up the sky,
proclaiming: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth Peace among those with
whom He is pleased!” Gaze at the Glory of my birth, just as the shepherds did,
and respond with childlike wonder.
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord
always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Luke 2:13–14 Suddenly a great company
of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory
to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”
