Even Jesus came as a baby and took baby steps in His walk here on earth, He was humbled by the flesh growth development….. He was born in a manger and not a palace.
He didn’t byoass nature or culture at that time
He learned to follow before He lead. As a King He came to serve.

The wise men worshipped Him as the Newborn King - not because they saw potential, but because they believed prophecy in who He is.

They didnt just have a “ hope so “ when looking at that baby, they had a “ know so”
Wise men (and women) still worship Him today
Some saw a baby, and those who believed saw a King.

Loving God right with all your heart will clear the path to treating others right, and in a loving way God intends.

When we think about how we interact with one another, the command to love our neighbors really stands out.

We are called not just to tolerate one another but to genuinely care for each other. Loving our neighbors means understanding their needs, listening to their concerns, and showing kindness.

Each interaction we have can reflect the love God has shown us, and it is through these acts of love that we can make His presence known in our lives and the lives of others.

Seek to have God’s own heart in your New Year!

Psalms 51: 10-12 is a heartfelt expression from King David , a man after God’s own heart, (a king & a leader) after he had fallen into sin.
These verses serve as a powerful prayer for restoration and renewal.
David, recognizing the depth of his sin, acknowledges his need for God’s forgiveness and restoration.
Through this plea, he seeks to regain the joy that comes from a right relationship with God. The mention of “the joy of thy salvation” emphasizes that true joy comes from our connection with God and understanding of His grace.
The Bible illustrates that our spiritual life can suffer when we stray from God’s path.
David’s use of personal pronouns like “me” and “thy” further personalizes this plea, making it relatable for all believers.
It shows God’s individual care for each of His followers, suggesting that restoration is not just a collective experience but also a deeply personal one.
We can see that this is a timeless truth; we all can experience times when we feel distant from God. This verse encourages us to approach Him with humility and a desire for renewal.
“ Change my heart oh God, may I be more like you”….

Not the way it was or is for some but what it ought to be…..

If there is dysfunctional behavior with the parents , or unhealed wounds from their childhood past, they will pass it down and there will be unbalanced disciplines

The tendency will then be a reaction to over-correct or under correct OR - over protect or under protect when it comes to discipline of kind

Pray as parent for understanding to know the differences
Proverbs 22:6 - KJV
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

We didn’t grow up hearing applause for everything we did.

There were no gold stars for effort alone.

No constant reassurance.

If something was wrong…

It was corrected.

Calmly.

Directly.

Again and again if needed.

Not to tear us down.

But to build us up properly.

Adults didn’t confuse love with flattery.

They understood that praise meant more when it was earned.

So mistakes were pointed out.

Standards were enforced.

And expectations stayed high.

It wasn’t always comfortable.

But it was consistent.

And consistency creates confidence.

Because when you’re corrected instead of coddled…

You learn how to improve.

You learn how to listen.

You learn how to get better without needing
validation every step of the way.

That’s why we didn’t crumble under pressure later in life.

We already knew how to handle it.

Not because we were special.

But because someone cared enough to correct us.

Every time.

Truly, think before you speak…..

JAMES 1:19 – “EVERYONE SHOULD BE QUICK TO LISTEN, SLOW TO SPEAK AND SLOW TO BECOME ANGRY.”

Listening first prevents rash words. This verse advises us to prioritize listening, teaching patience and control over impulsive or heated responses.
Don’t let a temporary feeling do permanent damage…..
