Living a life with Jesus at the center is essential to applying your faith to your life, relationships, work, and goals.
As we enter one of the busiest and most wonderful times of the year, it’s crucial to invite Him into each moment and all we do.
The holidays are a time to focus on others, celebrate, and enjoy everything the season brings.
Whether it’s Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s, we can keep Jesus at the center while enjoying life and extending love and kindness to others.
When we keep Him at the center, we make Him the focus.
Neither we nor others are the reason we celebrate or show gratitude. Instead, we begin to extend the love that He cheerfully gives to us.
I believe that being surrounded by the people we love and care about is evidence of God’s unconditional love.
And when we make Him the center of all that we do, others can experience true connection that comes freely from the One who loves us endlessly.
Having a Jesus-centered holiday season can help you maintain an awareness of His presence that is with you in every moment.
It can also allow you to bring Him into the spaces and among others that you are surrounded by this holiday season.
Keeping Jesus at the center of your life, and not just during the holidays, can help you live a fruitful life. Even in the midst of your own struggles and circumstances.
If the holidays are a difficult time for you, or if you just want to bring intentionality into this season. Then I hope you enjoy today’s post.
Here are 3 Habits To Have A Jesus-Centered Holiday Season!✝️🎄🙏🏽🤎🍽️
Habits For A Jesus-Centered Holiday Season
How To Have A Cheerful Holiday Season
1. Spend Quality Time With Him Daily
The most important way to have a Jesus-Centered holiday season is to develop an intimate relationship with Him.
This is achieved through reading the Bible, prayer, worship, gratitude, and living out your faith. I believe the most important reminder is that God will always meet you where you are.
You don’t need to show up perfectly; He desires connection, an open and honest heart, not perfection.
So start simple with something you can do on a consistent basis.
This may look like spending 15-30 minutes with Him daily, then increasing the time as you become more consistent.
This will take the overwhelm and confusion out of reading your Bible and spending quality time with Jesus. You can easily do this by committing to a Bible reading plan.
2. Remove Anything That’s Hindering Your Focus & Growth
Another thing that you’ll begin to experience as you live out your faith authentically is change. Certain desires, habits, and even thoughts will gradually no longer hold your interest.
As you remove the things that aren’t aligned with God’s Word, you’ll begin to replace those things with the things that God places on your heart.
Through this, your faith begins to grow, and so does your faith in God.
Removing things that aren’t aligned with what you believe in will create space for God to fill your heart with His goodness.
And as a result, you become more confident in the person God has created you to be, and your life changes for the better.
3. Include Him In Your Holiday Celebrations
Another way to have a Jesus-centered holiday season is to invite Him into your holiday festivities.
Whether you’re hosting a game night, dinner party, or a gathering of any kind. There are simple and unique ways you can include Him in holiday season fun. A few ways you can do so are:
- Gifting faith-based gifts to your loved ones.
- Hosting a Christmas-themed Bible study or devotional.
- Have a Bible Trivia or faith-based Game Night.
- Host a holiday dinner centered around sharing testimonies or what you’re grateful for.
- Intentionally treating others with kindness and grace.
