The ARRIVAL ~ A Christmas Devotional - Day 24

Hebrews 10:24 – "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds."

At Christmas, we celebrate the greatest gift ever given—Jesus Christ, whose LOVE and grace transformed the world. This season invites us to focus on the wonder of God’s presence and express that joy through our actions. Hebrews 10:24 encourages us to think about how we can inspire others toward LOVE and good deeds, especially during this season of giving.

Children often exemplify the pure joy, excitement, and generosity that Christmas brings. Whether they’re admiring tree lights, imagining the story of Jesus’ birth, or eagerly anticipating the joy of giving and receiving, children approach the season with awe. Their embrace of Christmas reminds us to reflect on how we, too, can experience the season with a heart full of wonder and LOVE.

One of the most childlike things we can do this season is to approach it with a heart of awe, appreciating the truth that God became a child for us, bringing light into a dark world. When we let ourselves be filled with wonder, we become more aware of the needs of others. We start to see people as God sees them, which inspires us to act with LOVE and generosity.

This Christmas, let’s consider how we can spur one another on toward LOVE and good deeds. Let’s approach the holiday with the heart of a child, open, joyful, and full of wonder. Through our actions, let’s inspire others and share the LOVE of Christ with everyone we meet.

May this Christmas be filled with LOVE, joy, and good deeds!

Prayer: Dear Lord, help me embrace the wonder of this season with the joy of a child. May my actions reflect Your LOVE and inspire others to LOVE and do good. Remind me to consider the needs of those around me and inspire them toward LOVE and good deeds. Thank You for the gift of Jesus, whose life and LOVE are the ultimate example of giving. ~ Amen
