Christmas, she stated, is a good time to make peace with loved ones.
“It’s so essential to have a devotional at Christmas time that handles peace and with relationships. … There’s no higher time of the year than Christmas, where we analyze our relationships, and we state, ‘How am I doing?’ Like [when] you’re drawing up your Christmas cards– ‘How am I making with my auntie or with my sis, my buddies?’ It raises the truth that, you understand, possibly [it’s] not so excellent, possibly I left some things unspoken, or I didn’t forgive or I didn’t connect as typically as I would have wished to.
“It’s a scriptural concept that before you lay your present at the altar, go and make peace with individuals that you may have an issue with, and after that bring your offering to God. And I simply believe that is where my introduction devotional is originating from– is that before you open real presents, provide yourself the present of peace and reconciliation with individuals you like.”
