" HEAVEN'S GIFT "

Here we are again "Christmas Eve" and most of us still don't get it. Well it's the day before we reflect on Jesus Christ coming into this world as a man. One cannot say that God cannot relate to what ever we have to go through as "Man". Yes He experienced much pain and humiliation, temptation, the death of family and friends, plus having to live without.

It's important for us to forget about ourselves and take the time to meditate on Him. Remember it's "Christmas" If I had to think of just one word that personally moves me when I think of Jesus Christ it's "COMPASSION". You may be thinking Love, Trust, Never Failing, Always on Time or any number of what God means to you and this I believe should be often.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. " The Word became Flesh " means becoming human. Jesus took upon himself full humanity and lived as a man, he never ceased to be the eternal God who has always existed, the Creator and Sustainer of all things, and the source of Eternal Life. It's very important for us, all of us who welcome Jesus Christ as Lord of our lives are reborn spiritually, receiving new life from the father.

Readers please remember that you exist only because God made you, and you have Spiritual Gifts only because God gave them to you. With God you are something valuable and unique; apart from God you are nothing, and if you try to live without him, you will be abandoning the purpose for which you were made.

Oh, when you feel God's hand of correction, accept it as proof of his love. Realize that God is urging you to follow his paths instead of stubbornly going your own way.

May God keep you and bless you and yours... Until next time.
