Sunday’s Blessing – 12/29/2024 – The New Year

May you come to understand that January 1 is just another day

So that you are not deceived into thinking something has been lost

Like a promise of “this year” it will happen

Know that God determines your times and seasons, not the calendar

May you see the divine thread of the Holy Spirit woven throughout your days

From your beginning of days until the end of your days

God has been, is, and will be at work in your life to bring about His purpose in you

Which a flip of a calendar does not promote nor deter

May you find the new year full of the goodness of God, and His presence

So you may feel the empowerment of His Spirit sent to encourage you

When you feel like the only one on the road you are travelling

Open your eyes to see God’s purpose and provision

May you be immersed in the REST of God accomplished through the miraculous birth of Jesus

The sinless life lived, the sacrifice on the cross for your sins

The burial, the resurrection on the third day, the ascension back to the Father

The seating on the Father’s right hand, and sending the Holy Spirit – Another like Himself

Sunday’s Blessing – 12/22/2024 – Forth Sunday of Advent – Love

Sunday’s Blessing – 12/22/2024 – Forth Sunday of Advent – Love

May the Love of the Father, embodied in the only begotten Son

Show you how to live, by giving you capacity to love others

Giving you something to give away as you encounter those in your world

In order to bring them back to the Father

May this Love, born of a virgin, sent from the Father, rebirth your spirit

To make you alive by the Spirit of God Who empowers you

Enabling you to love others beyond your ability to do so

By showing them the Father’s love in you

May the culmination of HOPE, PEACE, and JOY be realized in LOVE

Just as the prophets of old gave you HOPE of a coming Messiah

It manifested in PEACE through the Babe in Bethlehem

Bringing JOY to your world, making room to receive LOVE

Sunday’s Blessing – 12/15/2024 – Third Sunday of Advent – Joy

Sunday’s Blessing – 12/15/2024 – Third Sunday of Advent – Joy

May the joy of knowing you are loved and accepted by the Father overwhelm you

So you may know the limitless joy found by abiding in the glory of God

Until you accept joy as a lifestyle, not just a feeling

So your joyful light may shine to every corner of your world

May you experience the source of joy Himself, whom is Jesus-Messiah

By being emersed into Christ by the Spirit of Joy

Washing away all the debris of this world and its kingdom

So you may experience a new citizenship in the Kingdom of God

May you hear the joyous sound as the Creator and His heaven

Sing songs of deliverance over you, and bring joy close to you

So you may join in singing with the chorus

Declaring the joy of the Lord is your strength, brought through hope and peace

Sunday’s Blessing – 12/08/2024 – Second Week of Advent – Peace

Sunday’s Blessing – 12/08/2024 – Second Week of Advent – Peace

May you discover the Prince of Peace who came to earth as a human baby

So you may understand peace comes by being vulnerable

So you may remove the walls meant to protect, but actually make you a prisoner

So you can receive the precious gift of Peace, which is Jesus, the Messiah

May you sing the songs of the shepherds visited by the angel announcing the Savior’s birth

And believe and seek out the One sent to calm your soul

So you may bow down and worship Him, the Spotless Lamb sent to redeem you

And bring you back into fellowship with the Father

May you be engulfed by the Spirit of Peace whom Jesus sent when He ascended to heaven

To remain in you until Jesus returns

To give you strength to live in peace regardless of the storm you face

To allow you to find rest, even in the storm
