Merry Christmas from Brave Hearted Ministry

 

Merry Christmas to all of the Brave Hearted Steppers and their families!

Today, we celebrate more than a holiday - we celebrate the miracle of God's love made visible through Jesus Christ.

Christmas reminds us that God keeps His promises. In a world that feels uncertain (at times), the birth of Jesus declares hope has arrived, light has broken through the darkness, and love has come near. Emmanuel (Jesus) entered the world quietly, yet His presence changed everything. What seemed small and ordinary became the doorway to eternal redemption for us all.

At Brave Hearted Ministry, we are reminded this season that Brave Hearted courage often begins with trust. Mary said YES. Joseph OBEYED. Shepherds WENT. Wise men FOLLOWED. Each Brave Hearted step of faith played a role in God's greater story. In the same way, God calls us to live Brave Heartedly and faithful lives - trusting Him over fear, following His ways over our comfort, and loving with courage instead of holding back.

As you reflect on this season, may your heart be renewed with the peace of Christ (Jehovah Shalom) and your spirit strengthened with fresh hope. Whatever this year has held - joys, losses, victories, waiting, etc. - Jesus was born to meet you right where you are and to lead you forward with purpose.

"So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son." John 1:14

From Brave Hearted Ministry to all of you Brave Hearted Steppers and your families, may your Christmas be filled with God's presence, His peace and your future with unwavering hope. As we step into a new year, we invite you to join the monthly series: BRAVE EMPOWERMENT - Faith in Action. Courage with Purpose. Let Joshua 1:9 inspire you: Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Together, let's live Brave Heartedly in faith and purpose!

Merry Christmas and Many Blessings,

Rev. Maria Guzman
