Dear Friends,
“Be still and know that I am God”. If you’re like me, it’s difficult at times to “be still”, especially during the holidays! But, as we quickly approach Christmas day, I pray that you will find time to simply “be still” and prepare your hearts, minds, souls and spirits for the coming of Christ anew in your lives. Be blessed in this. Amen! Hugs, Scott

I Love You with an everlasting Love, which flows out from the depths of eternity. Before you were born, I knew you. Ponder the awesome mystery of a Love that encompasses you from before birth to beyond the grave.
Modern man has lost the perspective of eternity. To distract himself from the gaping jaws of death, he engages in ceaseless activity and amusement. The practice of being still in My Presence is almost a lost art, yet it is this very stillness that enables you to experience My eternal Love. You need the certainty of My loving Presence in order to weather the storms of life. During times of severe testing, even the best theology can fail you if it isn’t accompanied by experiential knowledge of Me. The ultimate protection against sinking during life’s storms is devoting time to developing your friendship with Me.
Jeremiah 31:3
3 The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.Lamentations 3:22-26
22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” 25 The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; 26 it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.Daily Devotional from “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
