Devotional for the Twelfth Day of Christmas

Ceramic Nativty - German

Note: We bring the Season of Christmas to a close with today's devotional entry.

"In the beginning was the Word...to all who received Him, who believed in His name, He gave power to become children of God.” —John 1:1,12

Inspiring Word, move over the chaos within me, calling forth form and order, that I may know You in my shaping, and in the shaping, surrender my life to Yours.

 

Illuminating Word, pierce the darkness within me, calling forth insight and understanding, that I may know You in my seeing, and in seeing, follow the way of Your kingdom.

 

Incarnate Word, indwell the life within me, calling forth passion and purpose, that I may know You in my living, and in living, embody You for the world.
