Scripture Memory Verse Challenge - Week #15
'Tis the season of giving and receiving! Christmas is a great time to show our love by showering our close family & friends with gifts! It's also a wonderful time to focus on God's gifts to us! He loves to give to us! He also wants to answer our prayers!
And my prayer for you is that you receive the best gifts this holiday season: joy, peace & love!
As I have been in the midst of receiving an answered prayer, I did not realize it at all. I had prayed for something to happen and assumed I knew what it would look like. After realizing that God answered my prayer, I was disappointed. (I know, I've got lots of flaws. Just ask my family.) However, I also felt relieved and more relaxed than ever. And then I had this amazing thought, God really was in the middle of all of it even though I didn't see it or understand at the time.
I'm learning that God does really want to give us the best gifts. All we have to do is ask, seek & knock. He wants us to not give up but pursue him and his wisdom and we will find God's best for us and true joy!
Whatever you are looking for, ask, then seek and most importantly, knock to find the best of what God wants for YOU!
Merry Christmas to ALL!
And thank you Jesus for giving your life to save us! #bestgiftever
