Good Morning, Ministry Partner:
Be Encouraged by God's Word:
Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil. So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.[Ephesians 5:15-20, NRSV]
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims:
The nativity mystery "conceived from the Holy Spirit and born from the Virgin Mary," mean, that God became human, truly human out of his own grace. The miracle of the existence of Jesus, his "climbing down of God" is: Holy Spirit and Virgin Mary! Here is a human being, the Virgin Mary, and as he comes from God, Jesus comes also from this human being. Born of the Virgin Mary means a human origin for God, he is human like every one of us. He is human without limitation. He is not only similar to us, he is like us.[Karl Barth]
Pray Together with Us:
Lord, you are life, though I be dead,
Love's fire you are, however cold I be;
Nor heaven have I, nor place to lay my head,
Nor home, but thee.[Christina Rossetti]
