Centuries have rolled by, and still the world longs for and looks for the peace
the angels sang about on that first Christmas morning...
"Where is His peace?" you ask.
I'll tell you where it is.
It abides in the hearts of all who have trusted His grace.
-Billy Graham
Have a peaceful and joyful Christmas!

“Hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls.”
-Hebrews 6:19, NLT
God knows what you are going through right now; and He is ready to meet you there where you.
God is our H O P E .
Hope that does not disappoint.
“HOPE” in the Bible is a confident and positive expectation of good.
And you can expect that good in your life, because
GOD loves you very much and wants to meet your needs right there where you are right now.
Keep on hoping, knowing that this hope will not disappoint because it is anchored to the Lord’s love.
-Joseph Prince

The hymn “Come Thou Long Expected Jesus,” was written originally by Charles Wesley.
But this time the timeless words of Wesley are combined with the singing talent of Meredith Andrews which makes the song for one of the year’s best new Christian Christmas songs. Enjoy the song!
Come, thou long expected Jesus
Born to set thy people free
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in thee
Israel's strength and consolation
Hope of all the earth thou art
Dear desire of every nation
Joy of every longing heart
Joy of every heart
[Verse 2]
Born thy people to deliver
Born a child and yet a King
Born to reign in us forever
Now thy gracious kingdom bring
By thine own eternal spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone
By thine all sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne
[Bridge]
You draw the hearts of shepherds
You draw the hearts of kings
Even as a baby, You were changing everything
You called me to Your Kingdom
Before Your lips could speak
And even as a baby, You were reaching out for me
And now we are awaiting
The day of Your return
When every eye will see You
As heaven comes to earth
Until the sky is opened
Until the trumpet sounds
The bride is getting ready
The church is singing out
[Outro]
Come, thou long expected Jesus
Born to set thy people free
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in thee
Come, thou long expected King
Have a blessed week!

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love?
I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love.

you from God's love, you will have the victory."

"Hope Is Here" is a beautiful Christmas Single from Church of Christ the King Brighton, (UK) to celebrate Emmanuel Is Coming!
I really like this song! You can listen to it by clicking here!
HOPE IS HERE//
Maker of it all
Less than two feet tall
Creator of all things
Made Himself nothing for all
Stars formed at His voice
Now too young for toys
King of the heavens
Fully dependant baby boy
I have a hope as He opens His little lungs
God Himself is here
Making a way where before there was none
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
Hail the Holy One!
Humbled and helpless all for us
Hope is here
Let us adore Him
For this is our God
Hail the newborn Son!
Born for salvation on a cross
Hope is here
Let us adore Him
For this is our God
Veiled and once unseen
God is now revealed
Growing and reading
Learning obedience for us
Walking out His love
Even to a cross
Piercing the darkness
Winning the life that we lost2
Fallen creation has found it’s redemption
In Christ the newborn King
Angels rejoice at the birth of our hope!
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Emmanuel, Emmanuel

A beautiful Christmas song "Messiah" by Francesca Battistelli.
"Messiah"
Long awaited precious promise
Son of God and son of man
Heaven's glory in a manger
Has come to us in Bethlehem
Messiah
Messiah
Baby born to save us all
Messiah
Messiah
On our knees we fall
All we longed for, all we needed
Shining in this child's eyes
Hope forever, death defeated
Because of this one holy night
Messiah
Messiah
Baby born to save us all
Messiah
Messiah
On our knees we fall
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
Christ the Lord
Long awaited precious promise
Coming back again
Messiah

Baby born to save us all
Messiah
Messiah
On our knees we fall
On our knees we fall

"Somewhere In Your Silent Night" is from Casting Crowns's new album - "It's Finally Christmas".
The message of this song is beautiful:
..."He knows your hurt
He knows your name
And you're the very reason that He came...
Love will find you..."
"Somewhere In Your Silent Night"
All is calm and all is bright
Everywhere but in your heart tonight
They're singing carols of joy and peace
But you feel too far gone and too far out of reach
Somewhere in your silent night
Heaven hears the song your broken heart has cried
Hope is here, just lift your head
For love has come to find you
Somewhere in your silent night
From heaven's height to manger low
There is no distance the Prince of Peace won't go
From manger low to Calvary's hill
When your pain runs deep
His love runs deeper still
He has always loved you, child
And He always will
Somewhere in your silent night
Heaven hears the song your broken heart has cried
Hope is here, just lift your head
For love has come to find you
Somewhere in your silent night
Lift your head
Lift your heart
Emmanuel will meet you where you are
He knows your hurt
He knows your name
And you're the very reason that He came
Somewhere in your silent night
Heaven hears the song your broken heart has cried
Hope is here, just lift your head
For love has come to find you
Somewhere in your silent night
Love will find you
Love will find you
Love will find you
-Casting Crowns
This quote is famous from A.A.Milne's Winnie the Pooh book -
but it's a great reminder today for you and for me!
Especially if we remember who we are in Christ and that it's HE who gives us strength every day!
He gives strength to those who are tired and more power to those who are weak.
-Isaiah 40:29
Have a blessed week!

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.

It prepares us for the Christmas...
