Laying down pride to enter true communion

We were created to be in communion with God. Our immortal souls were formed to be in His presence. However, human pride separates us from God. In order to put others above ourselves, we have to let go of barriers such as pride, recognition, comparison, and judgment.

On this Christmas Day, the celebration of God’s love towards us, we can lay these barriers down through God’s empowering presence and turn in awe to our beautiful Savior in this meal of profession - “Every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (2:11). Glory and honor, praise, adoration, now and forevermore be Thine! (lyrics of Beautiful Savior)
