✨ Reflection: Where Did I See God This Year? As this year comes to a close, take a quiet moment to look back. Not just at the milestones and answered prayers—but also at the waiting, the challenges, and the moments that shaped you. Sometimes God shows up in the big blessings. Sometimes He’s there in the strength you didn’t know you had, the peace that carried you through, or the people He placed beside you at just the right time. Reflect and ask yourself: • Where did I feel God’s presence this year? • What prayers were answered—maybe differently than I expected? • How did God grow me through the hard moments? Take a moment to write it down or share if you feel led. Reflection helps us recognize that God has been faithful all along. 💛

As we step into a new year, courage doesn’t always look like big, bold moves. Sometimes it’s choosing to keep going, trusting God when the path isn’t clear, and showing up even when fear tries to hold us back. This year, let’s pray for: • Courage to trust God’s timing • Courage to grow, even when it’s uncomfortable • Courage to let go of what no longer serves us • Courage to walk in faith, not fear You don’t have to have everything figured out. Just take the next faithful step—God will meet you there. 💛 What’s one area where you’re asking God for courage this year?

Christmas is more than a season — it’s a reminder that God still moves, still heals, and still performs miracles. Whether big or small, visible or quietly personal, miracles happen when God steps into our stories. Sometimes it’s provision at the right moment, restored hope, unexpected peace, or a prayer answered in ways we didn’t expect. 📖 “For nothing will be impossible with God.” — Luke 1:37 Today, we invite you to share: • A Christmas miracle you’ve experienced • A prayer God answered this season • A moment where you clearly saw God’s hand at work Your testimony may be exactly what someone else needs to hear today. Let’s glorify God together by sharing His goodness and faithfulness. 🤍🎄

In Luke 2, God chose an unexpected audience to receive the first announcement of Jesus’ birth — shepherds. Shepherds were ordinary, overlooked, and often dismissed by society. Yet God entrusted them with extraordinary news. This reminds us that God’s invitation is not based on status, position, or perfection — it’s based on His grace. What stands out about the shepherds: • They were available — watching their flocks by night • They were fearful, yet open to God’s message • They responded immediately, going to see Jesus • They left changed, praising and glorifying God 📖 “Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” — Luke 2:15 The shepherds didn’t question whether they were worthy — they simply went. Their obedience and faith remind us that God often reveals Himself to those with humble hearts who are willing to respond. May we be like the shepherds — attentive, responsive, and ready to share what God has done in our lives. 🤍

Jesus didn’t just talk about compassion — He lived it. He saw the poor, the overlooked, and the hurting, and He moved toward them with love, dignity, and action. He fed the hungry, healed the sick, and reminded us that serving others is one of the purest expressions of faith. Serving like Jesus means: • Seeing people, not problems • Offering help with humility and love • Giving not for recognition, but out of compassion 📖 “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40 May we be His hands and feet — serving with open hearts, willing hands, and genuine love.
