What Future Will We Choose?

“I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.”-Isaiah 66:4-5

This does not have to be our future. God gave us a choice. He sent His only Son Jesus to Save us!

This Christmas, as we celebrate His birth, we can also recommit ourselves to Truly Following Christ. Let that be our Birthday Gift to Jesus.

Pray For Peace!

In Matthew 24, verse 24, Jesus warns us that:

“For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” – Matthew 24:24

So how will we know when Jesus truly returns? We know many things, but one of them is that Jesus will never contradict what is in God’s Word. Never.

The Bible is our resource; we need to read it.

And as we approach the celebration of Christ’s birth, we can celebrate the Hope that Jesus gives us. The knowledge that we are saved because He chose to be born. Truly we are Blessed. Thank you Jesus!

Prepare, Pray and Be Ready!

“Be Born In Me”

Thank You!

Christmas, in a sense, began with Mary’s Yes. We often forget just how young Mary was. Just a girl. How overwhelmed She must have been! I can’t even imagine how filled with love Her Heart was for God! Or how filled with courage and faith :).

That Mary said Yes to God, and helped to give us the Greatest Gift we have ever received: Jesus.

Thank you Mary, we will always be so very grateful 🙂

The Love Of Christ :)

It’s hard to even begin to imagine the depth of the Love it would take for anyone to come down from Heaven to Earth, much less the depth of Love and Strength it took for Jesus who knew the painful future He would face-just to rescue us.

I wish that I could say that I would do that, but I just don’t have the Love and Strength that Jesus has.

And I think of the love that Mary and Joseph must have had both for our Father and for Jesus, and for us. And I am so very grateful to all of them. I always will be. Just as I am so very grateful to the Holy Spirit. Always. ?

But there is another reason that I am so very grateful to Jesus. He’s always there for me. When I am happy and when I am sad. When I am strong and when I am weak. When I am laughing and loving, and when I am lonely and lost. Jesus is always there-loving me.

No matter how I am. No matter where I am. Jesus is with me. If I fall, Jesus picks me up. And if I get lost, Jesus comes running after me. He never lets me get lost for long and His love for me is not dependent on any actions I take-or don’t take. And Jesus listens, really listens, all the time, with an intentness and compassion that would touch the hardest of hearts.

Jesus Loves me Unconditionally. And unlike the world, which often measures our success by our financial or career success. Jesus doesn’t measure mine. He just wants me to love Him back ?.

We love Jesus, because He loved us first. So this Christmas, let’s just say Thank You ?

“I will Bless those who Bless you (Israel)-Genesis 12:1-3

This Christmas, we can Bless Israel!

The Jewish People have always been God’s Chosen People; they always will be. We share with many of those of Jewish faith a Love of Christ, and always will. And despite our different countries and backgrounds, we are of the same family-Christ’s family. For we are brothers and sisters in Christ, and will go to Heaven together. In other words, we are Citizens of Heaven first, and foremost, always.

There is a group of gentiles and Jews who have come together to worship our Lord from different nations-in Israel. Their music is truly an inspiration.

Please pray for each of them and their ministry!
