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.
The First Day of Advent marks the beginning of a beautiful season of anticipation. As Christians, we use this time to prepare our hearts to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and to remember the hope He brought into a dark world. Advent invites us to pause, reflect, and look forward with expectation—both to Christmas and to the promise of Christ’s return.
On this first day, let us begin with gratitude for God’s gift and with renewed hope for what He is still doing in our lives. May this Advent season draw us closer to Him and fill our days with peace, joy, and expectation.
This verse says so much! Not only does Jesus give us strength but He gives us salvation. Because He is so wonderful we can sing His praises.
Isn’t He Wonderful!
The next 30 days for a lot of people will be the busiest time of year preparing for that perfect Christmas gift. Shopping in crowded stores, looking at catalogs, shopping on line.
The best gift you can give anyone is telling them about Jesus. For your unsaved friend, coworker or relative their best gift would be receiving Jesus as their Savior.
For your Christian loved ones a time of fellowship, a phone call or a message. Your time is more precious than any gift you could possibly buy.
Enjoy the Christmas season but don’t forget the best gift ever given…..Jesus.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
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!
We see John 3:16 displayed in a lot of places. Sporting events, stickers on cars and many other things.
As a young person I heard this verse but I did not realize it was for me. Yes, God loved the world but I did not think it meant me.
Then one day when my life was at the lowest, I found the real meaning of this verse. God loves me! He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross to pay for my sin. I believed and accepted Jesus that day so many years ago.
My prayer is that everyone who read this today will also believe and trust Jesus if they have not done that already.
