As you celebrate the birth of our dear Savior this weekend, please take a moment to reflect on your riches in Him:

• You are forgiven of your sin
  
• You have a new identity as a beloved child of the Most High God
  
• Through the Holy Spirit's leading, greater love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control are being worked in you
  

Jesus is the greatest gift anyone can ever receive!

I pray that you get a new revelation of your riches in Christ according to Ephesians 1:15-23:

"Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

Mike and I keep in you in our prayers. Let each of us determine that we are going to finish our race WELL!

​​​​​​​We love you. Merry Christmas!
