No human effort went in to the birth of Jesus - only humble submission.
Soldier of The Cross, may He be born into your life? May He be seen? May His death and resurrection be reflected as He sees fit, as you submit to Him in prayer?
He did not choose to be recognized. He did not choose to be safe. He did not even choose to be comfortable.
He chose humility.
He chose obscurity.
He chose to be rejected, even at birth.
Yet, Grace revealed Him to the Wise Men and to the Shepherds.
Soldier of The Cross, He has called your name and has extended His Hand to you for a life that reflects and reveals His Own Life.
Are you available, or do you have certain doors and boxes that are sealed? Is there something you must have? If that something is other than Jesus, you must present the situation to him in prayer.
There is no freedom greater than faith in the One who came as a Baby.
Have you told Him how much His birth as a child means to you?
Tell Him today.
Tell Him aloud. He is the ultimate Responder. He will absolutely let you know that He has heard.
