God Included You
Read: Psalm 105:1-4, Psalm 68:3-5

As you reflect on the Christmas story, marvel at this: God included you in His plan. The good news of Jesus, proclaimed by angels and shared with shepherds, is also extended to you.

“Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day… a Savior, who is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:10-11).

This message is an open invitation—God’s gift of peace, wholeness, and friendship through Jesus. It offers freedom, hope, and purpose. Today, let this joyful invitation remind you that God wants you to experience the fullness of life that only Jesus can bring.

This same Jesus, born in Bethlehem, is our Savior and King. May you find joy in walking with Him each day. As you celebrate with loved ones, let this song echo in your heart: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace” (Luke 2:14).

TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK:
> How does it change things to know this announcement
  is also an invitation?
> What does it mean for Jesus to be King of your heart?
> How can you nurture an everyday relationship with Jesus?
