Let's pray 🙏 Dear Heavenly Father, We stand in awe of the mercy You demonstrated when You sent Your Son to be born in a manger, to live among us, and ultimately to give His life for our redemption. We are forever grateful for this unparalleled act of mercy, a divine gift that forever changed the course of humanity. Father, let the spirit of Christmas remind us to extend mercy as freely as we have received it from You. As we give gifts to our loved ones, let us also gift forgiveness to those who have wronged us, understanding to those who have misunderstood us, and kindness to those who may be in need. Teach us to celebrate Christmas not just with festive cheer, but with genuine love and mercy that mirror Your heart. Let mercy triumph over judgment in our lives, transforming our hearts and the hearts of those around us. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and King, we pray. Amen Beloud
