Romans 14:16-17 - 16 Therefore, do not let your good be slandered, 17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Reflection: What we see as good may not be the same as others may see. There comes a time in all of our lives where we think we are doing something to benefit either ourselves, our brother, or our Lord. When in fact it is not a benefit but instead a stumbling block not only for them but possibly ourselves too. Let us not focus on what is “good” but instead focus on the One that is good, our father Jesus Christ.
Together we can rejoice in our Lord’s creation and enjoy the fellowship among our brothers & sisters. God’s grace has set us free, we are no longer bound by laws! Let the Holy Spirit shine through you and others in order to enjoy the righteousness, the peace, and the Joy that has been set before us. Join together as the body of Christ in which we are and celebrate with each other the birth of Christ.

Prayer: Lord, I pray that as a community we will follow the Holy Spirit as He leads us. Let us live unbound from the wickedness of this world, and let the Spirit shine through us each and everyday. As the holidays arrive let us focus on what matters, Jesus’ birth and how he leads through us each day. We pray this in Jesus name, Amen
