    About this ebook

    The ‘You are Invited' series comprises daily Christian devotions for each month of the year which invite you to draw closer to God. Every day offers you a Scripture verse and an invitation to consider what God is saying to you through the words you read. Questions help you to examine each Scripture verse in light of your own life at the present time and to apply what you discover to your current situation during the day. This volume provides devotions for December.

      You Are Invited to Draw Closer to God in December - Mandy Hackland

      Preface

      The ‘You are Invited’ devotions grew from an email sent to some friends who needed a Word of Encouragement from God on a regular basis during a challenging time.

      The recipients began to talk about how these devotional messages helped and challenged them, and the distribution grew to almost two hundred people receiving them on a daily basis.

      After a couple of years I knew that the distribution method needed to change and so I began a blog entitled ‘Discovering the Rainbows’ on which I post ‘You are Invited’ every day. You are welcome to follow it if you would like to receive the devotions on a daily basis. The address is:

      https://www.mandyhackland.wordpress.com.

      In the meantime, people began to request a printed version. So I gathered the devotions in one month groups and produced them for local readers who preferred to have a book in their hands.

      But God was not finished with them yet. For here they are, available in a digital format. They will be released gradually, to cover the entire year. My prayer is that each month’s devotions will bless you, my reader, and draw you closer to Christ as you consider the invitations they contain.

      God bless you

      Mandy Hackland

      The Lord delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love.

      Psalm 147:11

      Today you are invited to consider how you feel when you are reminded that the Lord delights in you as you respect Him and put your hope in His unfailing love.
