God’s love is not a passing emotion — it is a powerful, sacrificial, everlasting love. Before we ever sought Him, He loved us. Before we ever understood grace, He gave it freely.
The greatest picture of love is found at the cross. God didn’t just say He loves you — He proved it. He gave His only Son so that you could have eternal life. That means His love reaches into your past (forgiving sin), walks with you in your present (giving strength), and secures your future (promising heaven).
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
Don’t let your past determine your future. Look to God for the truth. Don’t let the past steal you from the joys of today. The Lord has so much for you.
I pray you will take time to read His Word daily and talk to Him through prayer then watch how he will guide you. He wants to walk with you every minute of the day, you are so important to Him.
Ask Him to open your eyes to the truth of His unconditional love for you. See yourself through His eyes.
Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV) says, Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not
God loves you with a love that never ends. No matter where you have been or what you are facing today, His heart is drawing you to Himself. He desires a relationship with you—one built on grace, mercy, and truth.
Because of that great love, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus willingly went to the cross, taking our sins upon Himself. He was crucified, buried, and on the third day He rose again, victorious over sin and death. This was not done for a select few—it was done for you personally.
The resurrection is proof that nothing is too broken for God to restore. Jesus is alive, and He invites you to come just as you are. When you place your faith in Him, you receive forgiveness, new life, and the assurance of His everlasting love.
Today, hear His voice calling you. Come to Him, trust Him, and rest in the love that has already been poured out for you.
The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Jeremiah 31:3
If you think about it, it’s a bit strange for someone to put goodies in an old sock. But like many Christmas traditions, the tradition of Christmas stockings comes from an old legend.
A long time ago (so the story goes), a poor man had three daughters and couldn’t afford to give them a dowry (money or goods given to the groom’s family by the bride’s family). In those days, it was very hard for a woman to get married without a dowry. A Christian bishop named Nicholas heard about the problem and wanted to help, but the man refused to accept money. One night, Nicholas threw three balls made of pure gold in through the open window of the man’s house. Each one landed in a stocking hung by the fire to dry. The next morning, each daughter found a gold ball in her stocking. With this bounty, they were all able to get married.
Stockings can remind us of the importance of service. The greatest example of service is Jesus Christ. He always “went about doing good” (Acts 10:38).
Take some time to think about the Savior’s selfless acts of service. How can you give Christlike service and show kindness to others this Christmas Season?
Th best act of service of is to give the Gospel to someone who does not know Jesus.
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Romans 10:15
Mistletoe symbolizes the love we are able to offer to others only because of Christ who “first loves us.”
This year, tell family and friends about the true meaning of mistletoe.
Be sure to let them know that the corresponding kiss is a symbol of peace, romance and the love of a Heavenly Father who sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross, was buried and rose again on the third day, as the payment for all our sins.
God’s love for us is the true meaning of Christmas.
1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us
God’s gift to us, JESUS! Today as you go about your Sunday, remember to thank GOD for His gift to us. Without Jesus we would have no hope. no Heaven, no healing, no comfort. Jesus the most wonderful gift!
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
December is the month we celebrate the birth of Jesus. We can get overwhelmed by shopping, parties, decorations and various activities that only happen this time of year.
All of it is good and exciting, as long as we remember the reason for the season is Jesus. Put Him first on your daily to do list. Everything else will then fall into place and we will have true peace and joy that only He can give.
I am so thankful to God for His love. Sending His Son, Jesus, to come to earth, be crucified, buried and rise from the dead, so I can have all my sins forgiven.
I am thankful for the wonderful family God has blessed me with.
The friends God has given me over the years that make my life so meaningful.
God has provided every need and most of my wants. Praise His name.
When I think of all God has done for me, the blessings are too numerous to count. Thank you, Lord.
May God bless you today as you give thanks. Happy Thanksgiving!
