When you were a child, did you write a letter to Santa? I did, mailing it to “Santa Claus, North Pole.” I was worried that he might not remember what I wanted for Christmas. The post office receives hundreds of thousands of letters like mine during the Christmas Season, all asking for toys and presents. No matter how busy you are with Christmas cards this season, Santa is busier.

God’s invitation is addressed personally to you. The only person whose relationship with God you can determine is your own.

Gypsy Smith, a great evangelist of an earlier generation, was once asked how revival begins. He suggested, “Take a piece of chalk and draw a circle around yourself. Pray until everything inside that circle is right with God, and revival will be upon us.” Would you take his advice today?
