TODAY'S DEVOTION
Monday, December 18, 2000
"And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of
the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and
truth." (John 1:14)
Today's Thought
From the manger to the cross, His
glory was revealed to all who would
receive Him. The same is true today . . . to all those who would
receive
Him His glory is revealed!
This tiny Child who lay so
innocently in His mother's arms had left His
heavenly estate to take on a mantle of flesh and become the
tangible
evidence of Grace and Truth.
Grace . . . that which affords
joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, charm,
loveliness; good will, loving-kindness, favor, benefit and
bounty.
Truth . . . personal excellence
free from pretense, affection, simulation,
falsehood and deceit.
All praise and glory belongs to
our Father for sending Grace and Truth in
the form of His Son to bring redemption to mankind. His whole
life, from
the manger to the cross, became a picture of the purest form of
Grace and Truth.
As we allow a greater measure of
Grace and Truth to be birthed in our
hearts day after day, all will know that He is alive in us as
His glory is
revealed through us!
Today's Prayer
Father, the more I seek You, the
more evidence I see of Grace and Truth
growing within me. Lord, regardless of the cost to me
personally, I want to be a vessel through which Your glory is
revealed to mankind.
Shine on, Light of the World . . .
in me, through me, in spite of me! Amen!
