Today’s Scripture
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16, NIV

Too Wonderful for Words
Beyond the Christmas lights and presents, beyond the music and great food, God reminds us of the most wonderful gift that has ever been given…this gift is Jesus. The babe in the manger. The Savior of the world, who brought the promise of unconditional love, unending hope, and eternal life to every person who believes in Him. The apostle Paul was so overwhelmed at the thought of all that God has given us that instead of trying to put it all in words, he simplified it this way: “Thanks be to G8od for his Son—a gift too wonderful for words.”

Jesus is God’s perfect, indescribable gift. And the amazing thing is that not only are we personally able to receive this gift that is too wonderful for words, but we are able to share Him with others today and every day. We need to make sure our hearts are ready, both to receive Christ’s love and to extend it to others. This is what Christmas is all about.

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for Your amazing love and the indescribable gift of Your Son Jesus, who is too wonderful for words. Thank You for the gift of eternal life and the unending hope I find in Jesus. I receive Your love right now and look forward to sharing this gift with others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

My friend, it’s not for you to see how much faith you have. That’s God’s department. All you need to do is simply see how gracious God is toward you.¹

“I don’t think I have enough faith to be healed.”

The woman with the issue of blood didn’t go around saying, “I must have faith. I must have faith . . .” No, she wasn’t conscious of her faith (or lack of it). She was conscious of Jesus and His goodness.

How? She heard about Jesus. She must have heard all about His kindness toward the sick and oppressed, and how He healed and delivered them ALL.

She simply saw Jesus in His grace, and Jesus saw her faith and affirmed it—”Daughter, your faith has made you well.” Beloved, just focus on Jesus’ grace. See how He healed ALL without qualification and keep hearing of His goodness!
