What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last till the end of time

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, Lord, if you want to know

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone

No, not just for some, oh, but just for everyone

~ Lyrics by Hal David and music composed by Burt Bacharach 

Christ Candle

We light this candle with great joy and celebration, because Christ is born in Bethlehem.  God's Son has come into the world to be our Savior! 

When the apostle Paul was writing to the Corinthians about the joy and blessing of giving, he got so overwhelmed at the thought of all that God has given us in His Son, Jesus, that instead of trying to put it all in words, he just ended with, “Thank God for his Son—a Gift too wonderful for words!” Jesus is God’s perfect, indescribable gift, the most wonderful gift that has ever been given—“God loved us so much that He gave His Son, Jesus, so that we can have eternal life.” Jesus, the babe in the manger. Jesus, the Savior of the world, who brought the promise of unconditional love, unending hope, and eternal life to every person who believes in Him.

And the amazing thing is that not only are we able to receive this gift into our hearts, we are able to share Him with others every day of the year! This is what Christmas is all about.

 

Candle of Love

 God’s Love is seen everywhere!!!❤️

“We love because he first loved us.”

1 John 4:19

“The Candle of Love is knowing that Jesus is the ultimate expression of the love of God.  We know what love is because Jesus shows it to us.”

“This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us 

and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

No one has ever seen God, but if we love one another, 

God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.”

1 John 4:10-12

Enjoying God

 

“The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;

where morning dawns, where evening fades,

you call forth songs of joy.”

Psalm 65:8

Our lives aren't always meant to be busy, productive, and fast-paced. Learn to slow down and enjoy the little things. God's beauty surrounds us everyday we just have to take the time to see it. What is it that gets you to slow down and enjoy the works of The Lord? Maybe you have a favorite place or spot you like to go, maybe it's the sound of the river or birds chirping, the smell of a fresh pot of coffee staring out your window at a gorgeous view, sitting on the porch swing with someone you love, seeing the progress of your flowers or crops as they grow, the still of the morning as you sit in your deer stand, or the the feeling you get sitting in church Sunday morning worshiping with a whole community of believers..whatever it is, take time from your busy life to fully enjoy all of the amazing things God has created and provided for you. God's purpose is not for us to live a hectic life where we are constantly busy and in a rush, sometimes He forces us do less, disconnect ourselves from the world, be in the present, slow down, focus on our inner-selves, and find pleasure in the little things.  He has designed a life for us to make time for Him and to relish in all that He has created. He delights in us slowing down to praise Him and all of the glorious wonders of His work.

Candle of Joy

 “Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances,

for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

This third week of Advent, let us remember that the good news of Jesus’ birth has the power to bring us great joy this Christmas season. Our joy isn’t dependent on what is going on in our life, in our world, or the people that we are with. It doesn’t depend on the gifts we give or the gifts we find under the tree. No earthly thing can ever give us complete joy. Our joy comes from you. That joy that flooded the hearts of the shepherds, the angels, the wise men, the hosts of heaven, and Mary and Joseph is the joy that still has the power to overwhelm our hearts with rejoicing.

God Is Always There

 

Psalm 46

It seems as if the world today is constantly changing. This might cause us to be filled with anxiety unless we remember that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1). Disturbing times should remind us we are only pilgrims on this earth. Our citizenship is in a heavenly kingdom that can never be shaken. 

The commotion of this current world is nothing unprecedented. I remember 1944 being a year of tremendous turmoil in our country because of World War II. Many people anxiously listened to the evening news, fearing the death of loved ones as battles in various locations were reported. 

When times are frightening and uncertain—whether personally, nationally, or globally—the place to find comfort and assurance is the Bible, especially the book of Psalms. Scripture helps us look at circumstances from God’s perspective. That reassures us of His love and care for us and lifts our eyes to a higher hope than anything this world can offer. 

We all want to find peace, and the first step is to cease striving (Psalm 46:10). Remember that the Lord is always with you, and know that His kingdom is coming.

Candle of Peace

The angels proclaimed “Peace on Earth” when the Baby Jesus was born. Today we wonder as we listen to the evening news, is peace possible? We all need two kinds of peace in our lives. We need inner peace, but we also need peace with others. God addresses both. He tells us what to do to find that peace.

INNER PEACE

Inner peace begins with a relationship with God, and it continues as we focus on His strength and allow Him to fill us. We can exchange our weakness for His strength in any area of life. God’s Word says, “You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is focused on You because He trusts in You” (Isaiah 26:3).

Personalize that verse with your own name in it: “God will keep me in perfect peace as my mind focuses on Him and trusts Him.” Inner peace hinges on your trust in God.

If inner peace is eluding you these days and anxiety is spilling over in your life, choose to trust God. You can choose to put your hand in His and draw from His patience and wisdom as you take each step. He will guide you through the maze of life if you ask Him. Choosing to trust God with those blind corners in your life will take you down the road to inner peace. Choosing not to trust Him will take you down the road to stress and worry. Inner peace is there for the choosing.

PEACE WITH OTHERS

“Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9).

Peace with others begins as we understand that God has called us to be peacemakers in our world. Is there somewhere in your own world where you can be a peacemaker this Christmas? Is there an invitation that needs to be extended to smooth over a fractured family relationship? Is there an apology to be made or a silence to be broken that has stood as a barrier for too long? Don’t miss the blessing God promises in your life as you respond to His call to be a peacemaker in your own circle.

We can help bring peace to our world one heart at a time.

Candle of Hope

“May the God of Hope fill you with joy and peace as you trust in him,

so that you may overflow with hope by the Holy Spirit.”

Romans 15:13

The Advent season is a beautiful reminder to prepare our hearts as we prepare our homes — to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus! At the start of this week, we light the first of the four candles in the Advent wreath: the candle of Hope.

Is your heart filled with hope? Do you have a confident expectation of your tomorrow? What happens when the road ahead is filled with loss and stress weighs your shoulders down? When confident expectation for tomorrow dwindles, what can you do? How can you walk in hope when you feel hopeless inside?

In one word, the answer to confident expectation is “JESUS" — the Jesus of Christmas.

Hope in Jesus comes from more than just a belief that He was once a baby in a manger. This hope in Him has been called “an anchor for the soul.” It is something deep within that secures you through the storms of life.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

 “I will give thanks to you, Lord, with

all my heart; and recount all of your wonderful deeds.”

Psalm 9:1

“Gratitude brings joyfulness!!!

                                                                

Take Heart

 “... be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”

Psalm 27:14

“Waiting for God is not easy.  Often it seems that he isn’t answering our prayers or doesn’t understand our urgency of our situation.  That kind of thinking implies that God is not in control or is not fair.  But God is worth waiting for.  Lamentations 3:24-26 calls us to hope in and wait for the Lord because often God uses waiting to refresh, renew, and teach us.  Make good use of your waiting times by discovering what God may be trying to teach in them.”

~ Life Application Study Bible

The Spirit God Gave Us

 “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid,

but gives us power, love and self discipline.”

 “When you use the gifts God has given you, you will find that God will find that God will give you the power you need to accomplish whatever task he gives you.”

“When we allow people to intimidate us, we neutralize our affective ness for God.  The power of the Holy Spirit can help us overcome our fear of what some might say or do to us, so that we can continue to do God’s work.”

~ Life Application Study Bible

Choose Happy

 “The Lord is my strength and shield.  I trust him with all

my heart.  He helps me, and my heart 

is filled with joy.  I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.”

Psalm 28:7

When you study Bible verses about happiness, a few things stand out. First, we can have inner happiness even when we are in difficult situations. Everything doesn't have to be right in your world for you to experience the feeling of being happy. If you keep your eye on the bigger picture, it's easier to rise above the trials and tribulations of life and still find reasons to be happy. If you keep your focus on God and eternity, it is easier to experience happiness even in challenging times.

In John 10:10, Jesus said, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full." We are not meant to merely make it through life. We are supposed to live a life to the fullest. What does that look like? It's happy and joyful. We are not supposed to simply be alive in the sense that our heart is beating, and we have breath in our lungs. We are supposed to have a life that we enjoy.

Choose to be Happy

and

Let nothing or no one steal your Joy!!!

God of All Comfort

 

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,

who comforts us in all our troubles, 

so that we can comfort those in any trouble with

the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

“Many think that when God comforts us, our troubles will go away.  Being comforted can also mean receiving strength, encouragement, and hope to deal with our troubles.  The more we suffer, the more comfort God gives us.  If you are feeling overwhelmed, allow God to comfort you.  Remember that every trial you endure will help you comfort other people who are suffering similar troubles.”

Life Application Study Bible

God Hears

 “As for me, I call to God, and the Lord saves me.”

Psalm 55:16

The Rule of Peace

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, ...”

Colossians 3:17

“Paul tells us to let Christ’s peace be umpire or referee in our hearts.  Our hearts are the center of conflict because there our feelings and desires clash - our fears and hopes, distrust and trust, jealousy and love.  How can we deal with these constant conflicts and live as God wants?  Paul explains that we must decide between conflicting elements by using the rule of peace - which choice will promote peace in our souls?”

Seasons of Life

 “There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under the heaven.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1

“He has made everything beautiful in its time.”

Ecclesiastes 3:11

You might not know...
King David’s son Solomon wrote the book of Ecclesiastes and the Bible says that he was the wisest man alive.

What does it say? 
Life is made up of many different seasons. And not just seasons like winter, spring, summer, and autumn. Different seasons of life for different emotions and different responsibilities. 

What does it mean?
The Lord created different seasons in our lives to shape us, help us deal, and create us into who He intended us to be. He uses seasons to show us that He is good and can “make everything beautiful for its own time” (verse 11). Seasons (good and bad) are ways for God to capture our hearts and our faith. 

What does it mean to me?
God will change the season of life I'm in when He's ready to change something about me. There are some more difficult seasons, but The Lord just wants me to trust Him through each & every season. No matter what kind of season I'm going through, I can remember that God always promises to make it beautiful in His time.

Just Believe

“Don’t be afraid, just believe.”

Mark 5:36

“Jairus’s crisis made him confused, afraid, and without hope.  Jesus’ words to Jairus in the midst of crisis speak to us as well:  “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”  In Jesus there is both hope and promise.  The next time you feel hopeless and afraid, look at your problem from Jesus’ point of view.  Then don’t be afraid; just have faith.”

~ Life Application Study Bible

Peace and Joy

 “May the God of hope fill you with all

joy and peace 

as you trust in him, so that you 

may overflow with hope

by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

“Let me fill you with My Joy and Peace.  They flow into you as you sit quietly in My Presence, trusting in the depths of your being.  These blessings are essential for nourishing your soul.  The Joy of the Lord is your strength, so don’t neglect this delightful gift.  It is for all times and circumstances, though sometimes you have to search for it.  You also need MyPeace at all times, and I bestow it on you freely as you trust in me.”

~ Jesus Today by Sarah Young

JOY

 “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you

and that your joy may be complete.”

John 15:11

“When things are going well, we feel elated.  When hardships come, we sink into depression.  But true joy transcends the rolling waves of circumstance.  Joy comes from a consistent relationship with Jesus Christ. When our lives are intertwined with his, he will help us walk through adversity without sinking into weakening lows and will manage deceptive highs.  The joy of living with Jesus Christ daily will keep us levelheaded, no matter how high or low our circumstances.”

~ Life Application Study Bible

Living in God’s Presence

“Rejoice in the Lord always...Let your gentleness be evident to all.

The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,

by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request

to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all

understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4:7

How Great Is Our God

“The heavens declare the Glory of God;

the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”

Psalms 19:1

Theme of Psalm 19:

Both God’s creation and his word

reveal his greatness.

 

“As God reveals himself through nature, we learn about his power and our finiteness.  As God reveals himself through daily experiences, we learn about his forgiveness and salvation.  We are surrounded by fantastic displays of God’s craftsmanship  - the heavens give dramatic evidence, his power, his love, his care.  To say that the universe happened by chance is absurd, it’s design, intricacy, and orderliness point to a personally involved Creator.  As you look at God’s handiwork in nature and the heavens, thank him for such magnificent beauty and the truth it reveals about the Creator.”

~ Life Application Study Bible

The Lord Is Close

 “The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves

those who are crushed in spirit.”

“We often wish we could escape troubles - the pain of grief, loss, sorrow, and failure; or even the small daily frustrations that constantly wear us down.  God promises to be “close to the broken hearted,” to be the source of power, courage, and wisdom, helping us through our problems.  Sometimes he chooses to deliver us through those problems.  When trouble strikes, don’t get frustrated with God.  Instead, admit that you need God’s help and thank him for being on your side.”

~ Life Application Study Bible

The Secret

 “In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;

in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.”

Psalm 5:3

“The secret of a close relationship with God is to pray to him earnestly each morning.  In the morning, our minds are more free from problems, and then we can commit to the whole day to God.  Regular communication helps any friendship and is certainly necessary for a strong relationship with God.  We need to communicate with him daily.  Having a regular time to pray and read God’s word “makes for a great day.”

~ Life Application Study Bible

God’s Children

 “Children are a heritage from the Lord,

offsprings a reward from him.”

Psalm 127:3

Theme of Psalm 127

“Life without God is senseless.  All of  life’s work - building

a home, establishing a career, raising a family -

must have God as a foundation.”

“Too often children are seen as liabilities than assets.  But the Bible calls children “a heritage from the Lord,” a reward.  We can learn valuable lessons from their inquisitive minds and trusting spirits.  Those who view children as a distraction or nuisance should instead see them as an opportunity to shape the future.  We dare not treat children as an inconvenience when God values them so highly.”

~ Life Application Study Bible 

God Is Our Refuge

“The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life;

the Lord will watch over your coming and going

both now and forevermore.”

Faith, Hope and Love

Romans 5:1-15

Faith, hope and love are the heart of the Christian life.  Our relationship with God begins with faith, which  helps us realize that we are delivered from our past by Christ’s death.  Hope grows as we learn all that God has in mind for us; it gives us the promise of the future.  And God’s love fills our lives and gives us the ability to reach out to others.”

~ Life Application Study Bible

God is Our Only Hope

God is Our Only Hope

It’s precisely because the world is so unstable and chaotic that we need God! If the world were perfect, if we never had any problems, then we might be tempted to think we didn’t need God. But the world isn’t this way—and if we ever needed God’s help, it is now.

Let me put it this way: If we don’t find our peace and security in God, where will we find them? Where else can we turn? The answer is simple: We have nowhere else to turn. Money … fame … politics … entertainment … success … career … relationships … pleasure—every one of these can fail us, and even if they don’t, they’re constantly changing. When we build our lives only on them, we become like the man in Jesus’ parable who built his house on sand, and “The rain came down … and it fell with a great crash” (Matthew 7:27).

Don’t turn your back on the only One who can give us lasting peace and hope—hope right now, and hope for eternity. Instead, turn to Jesus Christ and put your faith and trust in Him. Others may fail you … leaders may disillusion you … you may even disappoint yourself. But Christ never will. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).

Then make it your goal to walk with Christ every day, as you pray and read God’s Word and learn through fellowship with other believers. The Bible says, “The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever” (1 John 2:17).

~Billy Graham

Thank you God

 

“Give thanks to the Lord for he is good; 

his loves endures forever.”

“Psalm 107 offers hope for those who have made a mess of their lives.  By receiving God’s free gift of forgiveness, anyone can begin a new life and break with the past.  By faith in Christ, we can break addictions, heal memories, depression, anxieties and restore broken relationships.  If we ask Christ to take control of our lives, he will answer even those who have rebelled against him.”

Angels Among Us

 

“For he will command his angels concerning you

to guard you in all your ways.”

Psalm 91:11

“When we are frustrated by our inability to understand a circumstance or event, there are unseen angels bringing comfort and protection as directed by the wisdom of God.  Our only reasonable option is to rely on the word and promises of God.”

~ “To Heaven and Back” by Mary C. Neal, MD

One Nation Under God

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,”

Psalm 33:12

“For the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.”

Psalm 33:4

Theme of Psalm 33

“Because God is Creator, Lord, Savior, and Deliverer, he is worthy of our trust and praise.  Because he is faithful and his word is dependable, we can rejoice and sing, giving thanks and praise.”

~ Life Application Study Bible 

God’s Understanding

“Great is our Lord and mighty in power; 

his understanding has no limits.”

“Sometimes we feel as if we don’t understand ourselves - what we want, how we feel, what’s wrong with us, or what we should do about it.  But God’s understanding has no limits, and therefore he understands us fully.  If you feel troubled and don’t understand yourself, remember God understands you perfectly.  Take your mind off yourself and focus it on God.  The more you learn about God and his ways, the better you will understand yourself.”

~ Life Application Study Bible

Rest In God’s Faithfulness

“The Lord’s lovingkindness indeed never ceases, 

for his compassions never fail.  They are new every morning.  

Great is your faithfulness.”

Lamentations 3:22-23

“God will never leave us and nothing can separate us from His love!  He is our shield, our hope, and our promised victory!  We can never sing His praises enough, no matter how long we sing!

Instead of worrying, wait for what you need without doubt because God’s grace and provision are always available.

Time after time, God’s grace has been there for us.  Whenever we’ve needed it, He’s been there to comfort our hearts when we’re hurting.

On countless occasions, He’s proved for our needs, faithfully giving us what we needed - even when all we could see was a hopeless situation.”

God is Good...All the Time!!!

Living Water

“...but whoever drinks the water I give them

will never thirst again.”

John 4:13

“In the Old Testament, many verses speak of thirsting after God as one thirsts for water (Psalm 42:1; Isaiah 55:1; Jeremiah 2:13; Zechariah 13:1).  God is called the fountain of life (Psalm 36:9) and the spring of living water (Jeremiah 17:13).  In saying he would bring living water that could forever quench a person’s thirst for God.  Only the Messiah could give this gift that satisfies the soul’s desire.”

The living Word, Jesus Christ, and the written Word, the Bible, can satisfy our hungry and thirsty souls.”

Contemplating God in the Beauty of Nature

• By Bill Gaultiere

A primary way God nourishes our souls with his loving presence is through the beauty of nature. The face of the Lord shines on his in the sun. The moon and stars remind us that God’s light and love shine to us even in the dark. The Lord is speaking to us and warming us from the heavens, the Psalmist says (Psalm 19:1-6). The joy of the Lord comes to us in splashing waves and playful animals! (Psalm 29:3, 6)

Throughout the Bible we read testimony of the Lord communicating to us in the skies, ocean waves, breeze rustling through the trees, fields and flowers, and birds that sing cheerfully. Jesus reassures us that our Father in the heavens always near cares for the little sparrows and he cares for us (Matthew 6:26 and 10:29).

Nature reveals to us God’s beauty, glory, power, wisdom, presence, creativity, and, most of all, his loving care. This is why we’re drawn to spend time in the beauty of nature and to enjoy animals. To talk a walk on a beautiful day, play with your dog in the grass, or hold your cat are reliable ways for many people to connect with God’s loving presence.

Jesus makes continual use of nature in his parables that welcome us to find life with him in the Kingdom of God. The revelation of God in nature is so poignant and prevailing that the Apostle Paul cautions if we don’t notice and honor our Creator we are without excuse (Romans 1:20).

The Word of God inspires us to contemplate God in creation. Saint Francis of Assisi and Henri Nouwen are two devoted disciples of Christ who draw our attention to love God by loving his creatures and creation. Below are some of the Bible verses that inspired them. These are followed by Saint Francis’ famous nature hymn: “All Creatures of Our God and King” and a meditation from Henri Nouwen on “Being Sisters and Brothers of Nature”.

On The Third Day

“On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee.  

Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been 

invited to the wedding.”

John 2:1-2

“Jesus was on a mission to save the world, the greatest mission in the history of mankind.  Yet he took time to attend a wedding and take part in its festivities.  We may be tempted to think we should not take time out from our “important” work for social occasions.  But maybe these social occasions are part of our mission.  Jesus valued these wedding festivities because they involved people, and Jesus came to be with people.  Our mission can often be accomplished in joyous times of celebration with others.  Bring balance to your life by bringing Jesus into times of pleasure as well as times of work.”

My Heart

...God is the strength of my heart...

Psalm 73:26

“The Bible uses the word “heart” primarily to refer to the ruling center of the whole person, the springs of all desires.  The heart is seen as the seat of the will, intellect and feelings...According to the  Bible, the heart is the center not only of spiritual activity, but of all the operations of human life.”

If God is in your heart, then love is in your heart!!!❤️

“I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart.”
Psalm 9:1

My Strength

“yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.

The Sovereign Lord is My Strength;”

Habakkuk 3:18-19

Habakkuk’s feelings were not controlled by the events around him, but by faith in God’s ability to give him strength.  When nothing makes sense, and when troubles seem more than you can bear, remember that God gives strength.  Take your eyes off your difficulties and look to God.

God’s people need to live in the strength of his Spirit, confident in his ultimate victory over evil.

God is alive and in control of the world and it’s events.  We cannot see all that God is doing, and we cannot see all that God will do.  But we can be assured that he is God and will do what is right.  Knowing this can give us confidence and hope in a confusing world.
