The Twelve Days of Christmas Blessings - Love

The Twelve Days of Christmas Blessings for Our Beloved

I am extraordinarily blessed to have faith filled parents who love God, and pray mightily for all of their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren!  Last night while discussing Christmas plans, my mother said, “This is the last Christmas Eve we will spend together, because next year you will be with your husband!”

  

Then my father said, “He must be getting very lonely without you!”  

I love their faith!  and I love that they believe in romance.  

There is someone out there waiting for YOU!  That person is aching for your gift of love, just as you are longing for them.  We may not have a beloved to lavish fine Christmas gifts upon this year, but God knows that other person, and He wants to be our UPS man.....  

Uniting by the Presence of the Spirit.   

Would you like to join me in praying 12 days of spiritual blessings for your beloved?  If you are married, this is a great way to bless your spouse before Christmas Day.  

On the first day of Christmas, we give our True Love 

...the gift of divine Love. 

Father God, together we pray that You surround our spouses (future or current) with Your perfect Love that drives out all fear.  

Embrace our beloveds, and give them a new and grater experience of the Love of Christ that passes knowledge - that they are able to comprehend even more, what is the width, and length, and depth, and height of Your Love for them.  

Fill them with Your heartbeat for the world around them; that Your Love will fill them, and overflow to all who come in contact with them.  

We pray and declare that we will all love You, the Lord our God, with ALL of our hearts, with all of our souls, and with all of our minds.   

And I must add a quote from my niece Elizabeth’s blog, Long to Love:   

“‘When you pray, expect the immediate activity of God. Perhaps seen, likely unseen.’ Whatever it is in your life that pushes you to fall on your knees, to yearn and plead with God for supernatural intervention, pray for it and know He is moving.  I love the Message version of Romans 8:26-28 –

“… the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.”

We can know that God is moving in the life of someone we will embrace in the future - and He is Uniting us by the Presence of His Holy Spirit!  

Expecting to be amazed ~
