This morning I was reminded of something we all know in our heads.  IN HIM is everything we need.  It is true and it really does work in a practical way.

This time of year there is so much going on.  It is a busy time of year.  There is increased stress for many, increased burdens and things to be concerned about.  It seems to me this year that there is also increased spiritual activity, both good and bad.

I awoke this morning and felt this way.  Then the Holy Spirit reminded me to bring all of my concerns to Him.  He loves us so much that He is constantly there to receive our concerns and give us His peace, His love, His acceptance, His joy, His forgiveness.  When we see things in ourselves we don’t like (and if we don’t He probably doesn’t either!) then He knows the keys that will free us.  If there are things in us that need to be dealt with and we don’t even know where they come from, He does.

In short:  HE IS OUR EVERYTHING.

Let Jesus be that for you this Christmas.
