Lost in the Christmas Chatter Are the Influences in My Life That Really Matter

Daily writing prompt
Who are the biggest influences in your life?

In all the Christmas chatter
There is still a smatter
Of conversation about
Bethlehem’s baby boy
And Emmanuel’s joy.
Yet the true reality
Of “God with us”
And “Christ in you,
The hope of glory,”
Can get lost in the story.
This is a wonderful time
To fully open your heart
To a fresh new start
By surrendering your life
To the risen Jesus Christ.
Merry Christmas!

The Three in One–Father, Son, and Holy Spirit–are the biggest influences in my life. Biblical Christianity is to surrender to God’s will, “quench not the Spirit,” and allow Jesus to have His way in your life! The world is full of cities, but the city of God is hard to find. I seek first to be governed and influenced by God from within me.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
