Romans 15:13 "No may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
Peace. Joy. Hope...these three words adorn Christmas displays all around us. They're on people's minds, hearts, and lips this time of year. Unfortunately, what the world offers us is a counterfeit. It's not the real thing. We're told that if we get the right car, the right toy, the right gadget or gismo, the right person, we'll be happy and filled with peace and joy. Wrong.
You and I have the greatest Christmas gift to offer to those who are searching, holding out their hands in anticipation or desperation. My prayer today is that I (we) will be alert to the opportunities to share my joy, peace, and hope with someone who needs it. After all, it's not nice to be stingy, especially at Christmas. :-)
