God and you

Day 22

'Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in.'
O little town of Bethlehem (carol), verse 3

So I thought that, well, it's coming up to Christmas, and, come on, who doesn't like Christmas? So I decided to do a bit of a carol instead of a bible verse. I also chose this part because I felt that it stood out to me today, and that God wanted me to write about it.

What does it mean to receive God? Well, pretty much what it sounds like. To get God in your life basically. Do you want to receive God today? Do you want him to come into your heart and fill you with the holy spirit? If you don't, there's kinda no point in reading the rest of today's devotional.

But God can't just storm into your life right there and then. It's not some kind of invasion, people! You have to allow him in - that's what it means by saying 'meek' in the carol. Before you get the holy spirit, you need to tell God that you want him in your life, and that you're prepared to make room for him. If you do want God in your life now, pray this:

Prayer
Dear Lord,
Flood me with your love today. Fill me with your holy spirit. Come into my life, Lord. Live in me. Please, Lord.
Amen
