Now that the excitement and glitter is almost over, do we revert to our unforgiving and unkind ways. Christmas seem to be a time that people put a lot of insidious things on hold and don their best behavior. I wish we all could be loving, kind, compassionate whether it is Christmas or not.
Can we imagine, what this world would be like if every man, boy, girl, and woman was considerate and sought to serve each other? If there was no selfishness but selflessness? We can attain this level of existence, if we would give Jesus a chance."Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God," Hebrews 12:1-2.
Yes my dear friends, He is no longer a Babe, He is our intercessor, the one who died for our sins at Calvary, "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them, " Hebrews 7:25.
Let us face it, we cannot please God unless we exercise faith in Him ( Hebrews 11:6). We need to study His words ( 2 Timothy 2:15) and invite the Holy Spirit to take control. We cannot make it without Jesus. Let us continue the good work we have started on this Christmas day.

The reason for the season
Most if not everyone is in high gear because of this Christmas season. We are busy shopping and getting the "ideal" gifts for loved ones. Some are purchasing gifts for the less fortunate and they try to make this Christmas as memorable as possible.
Many times it appears that Christmas is so commercialized that the Baby born in a manger over 2000 years ago is used as a marketing strategy to get customers into the stores. We seem to have lost the reason for the season which is the gift of God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" - John 3:16.
We celebrate the season as a commemoration of His birth (Jesus'), although we know from history that He was not actually born on December 25, in the winter. However, this time provides an opportunity for us to speak about Him freely - people in general seem more receptive.
It was brought to my attention again today, that there are people who do not believe that God exists and hence they can be hostile to us who believe in His existence. Whether we believe He exists or not, going on the evidence in nature and other areas which are indicative of a Supreme God's, one thing is sure; you can either accept the truth or reject the truth. Is not God wonderful; He has given us choice, that is, He does not force us to serve Him. However, He gives us the benefits of serving Him - everlasting life
My hope and wish is that as we contemplate this season we will see Christ , our righteousness, our shield, our buckler as the one who has the solutions for all our selfishness. One lyricist says it this way
"Jesus is the answer for the world today."
Happy Holidays

Search for love
Everyone is searching for the ultimate love experience. We all look for this love everywhere except at the source. The scripture tells us that God is love - why not attach yourself to the one who resonates and is synonymous with love.
Try Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith who loves us with an everlasting love.
I recommend Jesus. Try Him today!

God's Love
There has been a Man who once walked this earth, whose name is Jesus. He loves us so much that He gave His life to save us all. How many of us would readily die so that others may live?
I am so glad that Jesus seized the opportunity to lay down His life for me so that I can have eternal life.
See John 3:16
