We live between the advents of Christ. As you celebrate his birth during this season, remember that he came the first time to destroy the works of the devil in your life, your family's life, and in your church. Live up to what you already are in him, saint, so that when he appears you may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame. May others look at you and say, "He's like his elder brother" and "You can tell she belongs to God's family."
