• “Though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.” (2 Corinthians 8:9)

Prayer:
“Father, thank You for sending Your Son in such humility. Help us to see the manger as a reminder of Your nearness and to rejoice in the gift of salvation through Christ.”
