Don't you love the special traditions that we get

Don't you love the special traditions that we get to relive year after year with our family and friends? Decorating Christmas cookies, hanging ornaments on the tree listening to Bing Crosby and drinking hot-chocolate around the fireplace are some of our favorites. What are some of yours?

Radiant! You look radiant. Do people say that when

Radiant! You look radiant. Do people say that when they see you? Does the glow on your face cause them to comment? If you said no, neither has anyone said that about me. Guess who that is said about, though? Jesus. Hebrews 1:3 describes Him in this way:

"He is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His nature,..." Hebrews 1:3

The word "radiance" is only used 5 times in the Bible and in each instance refers to God. Commentator Vines defines God's "radiance" as "shining forth, of a light coming from a luminous body." Isn't that exciting? One day we will see Jesus and His radiance. So remember that when things around you are dark, Jesus isn’t. Nothing can extinguish His radiance. One glorious day we'll join those who are living in God's radiance. We'll fall on our knees overwhelmed by what we see. That day is coming when we go to Jesus or when He returns through the clouds. Keep watching and living for Him!

"He's coming with a sleigh and reindeer." That's w

"He's coming with a sleigh and reindeer." That's what some parents tell their children about Santa and kids get excited in anticipation of his arrival. But hey, believers! The real gift-giver from above is coming in the clouds and not with a sleigh and reindeer. Rather, Christ will come with the armies of heaven following Him. (Revelation 19:14) Rather than wearing a human made santa suit, Revelation 19:16 describes Christ's robe and what is written on it:

on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, 'KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.'

Christ's coming isn't a fairy tale. It's a fact. It's incredible and beyond exciting. As Old Testament believers once looked forward to the day the Messiah would come, believers look forward to the day Jesus will return to earth in glory. How magnificent that will be!

Happy December 1st, friends! May your coffee be strong, your hearts be full and your Christmas list point straight to the true reason for the season! It's easy to get caught up in the shopping, the work parties, the church events and the school functions. All of those things are SO good, don't get me wrong. My prayer is that we all enjoy the special moments this month and are intentionally PRESENT with the people in front of us. Don't stress about tomorrow, focus on right now. Enjoy the crisp air, the way the Lord shines through the people you meet and the fact that Amazon Prime delivers! :)

Have you ever felt like a prisoner, trapped in a s

Have you ever felt like a prisoner, trapped in a specific situation or sin-cycle? We can be in a crowded room, filled with people we love, and still feel isolated and defeated.

If you are currently feeling trapped and alone, call out to Jesus! The Lord hears you when you call out to Him! You are not alone. He will fight for you and hold your head up when you need Him to.

We think this verse makes a great journal entry prompt. Open up your journal, write Psalm 69:33 at the top of the page, and then list areas in your life where you have felt like a prisoner. It could be an addiction you've battled, a tough relationship or any number of hard to talk about issues. Then write out a prayer to the Lord, asking Him to meet you in that very place you feel trapped. His presence changes everything. His love breaks chains.

Share any testimonies you have where God has shown up in what felt like a prison. You never know who it will encourage!

I love to gaze on the glory of the moon. The moon

I love to gaze on the glory of the moon. The moon - IS - something that exists. The moon - WAS - created by God in eternity past. The moon WILL BE in our tomorrows. It appears in different phases but it is still the same moon. So why would we doubt that Jesus is the LORD WHO WAS the creator, WHO IS self-existent in heaven and in our hearts, and WHO IS TO COME? On December 25, we celebrate the LORD who came in the past in the appearance of a baby. But Revelation 1:4 says, CHRIST is not only "HE is WHO IS and WHO WAS," He is the LORD "WHO IS TO COME...” Think about it. Jesus is coming again!

Jesus is interested in you and if your life and da

Jesus is interested in you and if your life and days are meaningful. Why? He designed us to bear fruit. In John 15:1-2 Jesus explains how our lives can be fruitful if we live in close relationship to Him.

I am the true vine, and My Father is the VINEDRESSER. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.

Why does God prune the dead, fruitless branches and eagerly watch to see if we begin bearing fruit? Read more at www.debbietaylorwilliams.com/blog

What are you most thankful for, in the season you're in? It's easy to get wrapped up in the busyness this time of year. There are gatherings to attend, meals to shop for and Christmas gifts to purchase. Let's take a minute to praise our Creator, thanking Him for something we might not have thanked Him for yet.
