🎄 Daily Devotional – Love Found in a Manger

Theme: God’s Love Came Close and Personal

Scripture: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son…”— John 3:16 (KJV)

Reflection: As we enter the final days before Christmas, our hearts are drawn once again to the manger—a simple, quiet place where the greatest expression of love the world has ever known was revealed.

God’s love did not arrive wrapped in luxury or announced with earthly power. It came wrapped in humility. It came gently. It came close. A baby lying in a manger declared a powerful truth: God’s love is personal.

Jesus came not because the world was worthy, but because the world was loved.He came for the broken, the weary, the lost, and the hopeful.He came for every heart longing to be seen, known, and redeemed.

Christmas reminds us that love is not distant or conditional. God’s love stepped into humanity, breathed our air, and walked our roads so that we could know Him—not just as Creator, but as Savior.

As Christmas approaches, let this truth settle deeply into your heart:✨ You are loved.✨ You are seen.✨ You are worth coming for.

Meditation:Pause for a moment and whisper:“Thank You, Lord, for loving me enough to come.”Let gratitude and peace fill your heart.

Prayer:Father, thank You for loving the world—and me—so deeply that You gave Your Son. As Christmas draws near, help me reflect that same love to others. Let my heart be filled with gratitude, humility, and awe as I remember the miracle of the manger. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 💜
