In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.<br />
John 1:1-3</p>
<p>I have told you these things, so that in me you may have <strong>peace</strong>. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33</p>
<p>Let the <strong>peace</strong> of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to <strong>peace</strong>. And be thankful. Colossians 3:15</p>
<p>I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the <strong>love</strong> of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39</p>
<p>May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the <strong>love</strong> of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14</p>
<p>For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23</p>
<p>Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. Revelation 3:20-21</p>
<p>Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my <strong>hope</strong> is in you all day long. Psalm 25:4-5</p>
<p><strong><em>His birth was for his death; his death was for our birth!</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Christ is alive, and He is with us today. He invites us to enter into His story of HOPE, LOVE, JOY, and PEACE, during Advent, at Christmas, and throughout the coming New Year.</em></strong></p>
