As we continue this week to celebrate the birth of Jesus, God incarnate,
who came to earth to save; let us lay hold of what the Apostle Peter is
saying to us in his second letter.

"Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus
our Lord; seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything
pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who
called us by His own glory and excellence.

For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, in
order that by them you might become partakers of the divine nature, having
escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.

Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply
moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge; and in your
knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control perserverance, and in
your perserverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness,
and in your brothely kindness, love.

For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you
neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ."  2 Peter 1:2-8

My prayer for all of us in this coming year is that of Paul's, "That I may
KNOW (my emphasis) Him..." Phil. 2"10a 

Blessings and love to all.
