2013 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE BY UNIT 1012



 

"Adoration of the Shepherds" by Gerard van Honthorst, 1622
God of all gifts, we thank you for the many ways You have blessed us this day. As a God of compassion, you know the holes that are left in our heart caused by the senseless death of a loved one. While the world celebrates around us we long for a Christmas past where we could have our loved one with us again. Only you can understand the depths of our sadness, for You experienced the death of Your own Son on the Cross to save our souls. Lord, for all of us who suffer through tragedy, we pray that you heal us of the loss of our loved one who departed, and dry the tears of sorrow that weighs down our hearts.

May Your hand impart peace and healing to the downtrodden and bring justice to a land who needs Your counsel and guidance. We ask for Your special dispensation for families victimized by heinous crimes and for Your wisdom to reign in the courtrooms- but most of all, we want in this season for Your will and way to penetrate the hearts of the unbelieving who can never have the inner peace they long for until You enter their hearts.

From the Unit 1012 to your family, may God bless and protect this Christmas season and open up more doors for legal and social justice to prevail. Amen
