Tomorrow we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior. Even those that do not believe celebrate. That\u2019s how powerful our God is. But as we celebrate, let\u2019s remember how blessed we are that \u201cGod is with us\u201d through the Holy Spirit. That means he is with us all day. Every day. All year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Jesus left the earth, he told the disciples that they would then receive the gift and power of the Holy Spirit. What an amazing gift. And what is more amazing is that we all can have this gift. We can all have Jesus in us. Last time I checked, the word \u201call\u201d quite literally means all. So that means every single one of us has the ability to know Jesus. Every single one of us has the ability to take him into our hearts. Every single one of us has the ability to believe in him. And believing is the key to eternity with him. Awesome! The power of the Holy Spirit gives us access to him all the time. No matter where we are. That\u2019s incredible and amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s finish this devotion by quoting something I read: \u201cThis Christmas, allow the power of the gifts God set in motion long ago to resonate in your heart. Whether you\u2019re celebrating over gifts and dinner with loved ones or if you find yourself in a place of mourning, know that Immanuel has come for you. He didn\u2019t just come to occupy a manger, a cross, or a tomb\u2014He came to live in your heart through the everlasting power of His Holy Spirit. The gift of Christmas was always meant for you, and He is with you always!\u201d I pray if you do not know Jesus, I pray that you believe in him. I pray if you do know Jesus, you take the time to tell others who he is. I love you all. I pray you have a blessed holiday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s Christmas Eve. Tomorrow we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior.
