Reflect

What comes to mind when you think about Christmas? Do you envision decorating your home with lights or putting up the tree? Do you remember traditions, plan for Christmas parties, or ruminate on selecting the perfect gift for everyone in your life? Or do you think about tense gatherings with your extended family? Perhaps the stressful, busy weeks leading up to the holidays?

As you let the words of this song wash over you, tune your heart to think about the heart of the holiday season–King Jesus was born to bring joy, peace, and to abolish the darkness! Let the Christmas season remind you of God’s great love for you, that He sent His son to save His people.

Let us sing of His glory, and rejoice in the name of Jesus, God with us.
