Beloved–
God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David
a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.*
MERRY CHRISTMAS
*(from the Word of God)
Beloved–
And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us. Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us. (from 1 John)
I’m not sure when I realized that the Holy Spirit was a “Permanent part of me.” Most of the time I didn’t even acknowledge His presence. Confessing my arrogance helped me to want His way over my own. You too, can have an intimate relationship with Him.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world. (from the book of 1 John)
I catch myself sinning all the time. It’s comforting to know I’m covered by the righteous blood of Jesus Christ making me presentable in the presence of the Lord God Almighty. You too, can be covered in His righteous blood.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut, and you will stay out of trouble. If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. (from the Old Testament and the New Testament)
Nobody can read my mind. Only my thoughts expressed out loud could get me into trouble. Such was my philosophy of life yet, my life was always full of turmoil. When I thought I was beyond help I cried out to God and he answered me. I learned that Jesus personally cared about my everyday problems. You too, can avoid turmoil by focusing all your thoughts on your creator.
Luv Ya!
