VERSE:
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have
seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the
Father, full of grace and truth.
    -- John 1:14

THOUGHT:
God's message wasn't content to stay confined to a book, a
prophecy, or a scroll. Praise God! This Message, this Word, took on
flesh and blood and bones! Praise God Almighty! This Message, this
Word, didn't remain far off, distantly holy and unapproachable.
Praise the LORD, God of Israel! He came to us in human flesh,
bringing us love, hope, redemption, mercy, salvation, joy...

PRAYER:
Almighty God, I praise and exalt your name above all names. Your
love is greater than the volume of all of our oceans. Your mercy
stretches farther than the great expanses of our known space. Your
grace is beyond calculation. Your salvation is marvelous beyond
compare. Thank you for blessing me with all of these in Jesus, who
came and lived in my world so I can make my home in yours. In the
name of Christ the Lord, I praise you. Amen.
