Heart hurting? Filled with Pain? Fear not! Even if God seems like a stranger, he is wiling to be born afresh in your manger.

Is your heart an inn or a manger? Are you so busy, your savior is a stranger? Slow down an open your heart, its time for a fresh start.

Bethlehem's failure to recognize their messiah is a critical lesson: geographical proximity does not determine perception.

Isa. 43:18-19 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?"

Many times the perspectives and pain of our past can be the greatest impediment to perceiving God's present workings in our lives.

Rev.22:1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

Heaven's river is always flowing. Only you can decide how often you are going.

Oh to drink from the waters deep, to heal our hearts even when we weep. Every time I desire to drink from its flow, to His word I go.

The greatest antidote to the temptations we fight is the powerful reality of heavenly delight.

John 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. Hearing God is your birth rite.

John 10:5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”

When God becomes a stranger, we are in danger.

It's far easier to make the wrong choice when you have never learned to hear His voice.

It's far easier to make the wrong choice when you've never learned to hear his voice.

Genesis 13:12 "Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom."

Abraham built and altar(relationship with God) and stayed in the land;Lot never built one and strayed from the land.

Your daily life with God, fuels the faith you need to face the realities of walking in God's will.

Both men were declared righteous. Yet, Abraham's faith produced Israel; while Lots failure produced Moab and Ammon.

Our spiritual life will wither, if we make the mistake of abiding in the branches instead of the vine. No human can ever replace Christ.
