The Christmas season offers countless distractions—from festive traditions to sentimental storylines—but Scripture reminds us that Christ desires to dwell at the very center of our hearts. In Ephesians 3:16–18, Paul prays that believers would be strengthened by the Spirit so their faith becomes firmly rooted, enabling them to grasp the immeasurable love of Christ. Like the deeply rooted Christmas tree in the devotional story, our faith grows strong when we remain grounded in truth and nourished by God’s presence. This season, we are invited to welcome Christ fully, stand firm in our faith, and radiate His love to others.
