There are many differences between Christians and Non-Christians. But one of the differences I believe is selfishness.

Non-Christians often live a life of self. They truly believe that the means justify the ends. That believe they are “entitiled” to have whatever pleases them, no matter the cost to others.

Christians, however, see life through a different prism. They believe and obey Christ’s commandment to loves others as themselves. They live a life of giving, often sacrificing what might please them in order to bring happiness to another. But it’s even more than that, their whole life is based on loving God and loving each other. It’s their purpose. And it changes everything.

So Give someone a hug. Smile at someone. Carry someone’s groceries. Let a car cut in front of you- and smile. Donate to a local food bank. Say thank you to a police officer. The list is endless…

And offer it all to Christ 🙂

It is amazing the amount of happienss that comes from giving such a small thing to another 🙂.

“At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.”-Daniel, 12:1

As we prepare to enter the New Year, there has been much discussion about whether we are living in the End Times.   Only God knows for sure.  Jesus told us that when we see the “signs”, “it is near, right at the door”.  But He also said that only our Father knows the Hour.

But there is something we do know from Daniel, Chapter 12.  Michael, the Archangel, who protects God’s people “will arise”.  And although there will be a time of great “distress”, “everyone whose name is found written in the book-will be delivered.”

There is no doubt that we have lived through this year and enter the next year with deep concern.  Even Fear.  But our Father has promised us that if we are in “the book”, we will be saved. 

And that’s a promise to hold onto-every day! ?

There are dark days ahead, of that there can be no doubt. But God is here and His miracles are everywhere. We just have to look for them.

There are so many miracles. Miracles when needs are met. Miracles when the sick are healed. Miracles when faith blooms in our hearts.

But perhaps the most “seeable” miracle is found every day in nature. The Miracle of Light-Sun Light. And not just the sun, but the warm light of a sun rise or a sun set. The way the sun light dances on the trees. The way the sun light creates a million lights on water. The way a rainbow lights up the sky.

No matter how difficult the times may become next year, God’s light, Christ’s light and the light of the Holy Spirit will find a way to warm our hearts. Step into that light and stay there and you will find next year so much easier. And if you forget how to get there-just ask God for help in Jesus’ Name 🙂

And Be The Light for someone else. Show them the way. For we were “born for such a time as this” 🙂

“Scientific Facts in the Bible: Only in recent years has man discovered that there were mountains on the ocean floor. This was revealed in the Bible thousands of years ago. While deep in the ocean, Jonah cried, “I went down to the bottoms of the mountains…(Jonah 2:6)”. The reason that the Bible and true science harmonize is that they have the same author”-comment in King James Bible

“The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator.” “Science brings men nearer to God” ― Louis Pasteur

“He who thinks half-heartedly will not believe in God; but he who really thinks has to believe in God”-Issac Newton

“The more I study science, the more I believe in God”-Albert Einstein

God created our world and all that is in it. Some of the most famous scientists knew that. And clearly, they said that!

It is only some in today’s media that attempt to deny it. God is not a fairy tale. He is real.

Don’t let some in the media deny Him or lesson your faith.

Choose Christ 🙂

“It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.”

God Loves Us, He wants us to rest because He loves us. And He also knows that we need rest, afterall, He made us 🙂

So today, most of us are tired. We cooked, we wrapped, we decorated, we cleaned and we prayed :).

So today-rest. God wants you too 🙂

What can we possibly say- Thank You 🙂

Our Savior on earth is coming! We are saved! Can anything be greater than that? How do we say Thank You for saving our lives? How do we say Thank You for being with us-always! How do we Thank Jesus for all that He suffered after He came-just so we could go to Heaven and call on Him while on earth?

How do we thank Jesus for loving us so?

It’s simple. We just say Thank You 🙂

This night before Christmas, surrounded by those we love, what can we give our Lord who has given us so much?

We can give Him us-completely and forever.

And we can commit to loving God and others as He loves us, with our whole soul and our whole heart. Amen 🙂
