Some of us are unaware of how we come across to others. In these very strange times, maybe we need an "unexpected message" to help us along on our spiritual journeys. Maybe it's time we let God move us so we can be greater movers for Him. This message is personal, and might be just what's needed this Christmas - for you and those around you.

Even as Paul is incarcerated for no good reason, he sets the tone and example of having a good attitude. First century readers were concerned for him, but he shows them he is making the most of his difficult circumstances, encouraging them by his remarkable example of optimism for the cause of Christ. Let his words and example encourage you, too, as you read through these inspiring inspired words. It can help you have a tenacious faith like Paul's.
