Devotional
Beloved, it’s a Christmas season. No doubt, Christ is the reason for the season. But just as it was established the recent past, Christmas is not just a day, it’s a lifestyle. We live to let Christ be born daily in our lives. However, it’s also a season of joy and lots of love in the air. When people share love and gifts with family, and friends alike. But then again, the best gift a person can receive in this season is the gift of Christ. It’s not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (See Romans 14:17)
