The season is upon us ~ the rushing, lists, baking, shopping, gatherings, trees and decorations. Joy. Family. Stress. We scurry through the month of December when we really need to slow down. We need to celebrate.
Celebrate the TRUE meaning of the holiday. Jesus! Have we forgotten? Jesus should be the center of all our celebrations. He is the “Reason for the Season” as you hear occasionally this time of year. He is the Lord of all beings. He is our Creator. Give Him the praise and glory He deserves. Open your heart to Him all year round. Start this month. Make a life-style change. He loves you. He loves all of us. Do you know the most quoted verse from the Bible tells us that? “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.
Take the time to read to yourself, your family, a loved one. Read the story of the birth of Jesus. Put the meaning back into the holiday. Share God’s love for all of us. Renew yourself. Reach out and help a lost person find peace and meaning in life. God’s arms are open and waiting for us to come to him. He does not want us to be lost. It your choice. Decide. Do you want to live with God in your life or to live life without God?
We are all sinners.
God loves us.
Christ died for us.
Receive God. Take action. Ask Him to come into your heart. You will have everlasting life if you believe in the Lord Jesus.
Being a child of God is the most wonderful thing in the world. It is not easy but nothing worth working for is easy. The Bible tells us, “In the world you shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33)
God is always there for us. For me and for you! Believe. Have faith. Love Jesus!
Merry Christmas!
