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
“Your afflictions can’t stop His affection. Your problems can’t stop His promises. Your failures can’t stop His faithfulness. Your questions can’t stop His compassion. Your pain can’t stop His plan. Your mess can’t stop His mercy.”
And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. Isaiah 65:24
Do you ever feel like God will not hear or answer a prayer that you think He would not care about?
Wrong! God cares about the smallest detail in our lives. He knows the number of hairs on your head, so don’t you think He cares about your “little” prayers or desires.
There was a time when I wanted some grapes. I was in a city that I knew nothing about. I had no way of going to a grocery store. A knock came on door. There was a man with a bag of groceries. On the top was a cluster of the most beautiful grapes.
I had not even prayed about grapes. It was a want, and God knew my desire.
Whatever you need, God hears and answers no matter how small that need or desire is.
“Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?” Psalm 139:7
What is your favorite vacation? Maybe you like the beach, or the mountains. Get together with family? Traveling alone.
Everyone has a different way to get away and relax. But there is one thing you should always do, wherever you go. That is prayer and reading a portion of God’s Word.
Modern technology tells you when you leave something behind. Never take a vacation from God. Do not leave Him behind. He loves you and will not leave you.
“You are so loved that even while you were running away from God, He was running after you. He sent His Son Jesus to die for you so you could be free, forgiven, and reconnected with God. He wants you to enjoy life with Him now and for eternity.”
3But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2 Corinthians 3&4
The busy season for SOS Events is here. Today there are events in Alabama at the Santuck Flea Market and in New York at Albion.
There are probably others that are going on also. The volunteers need your prayers for Holy Spirit power. The unsaved that attend these events need your prayers for soft hearts and open minds to hear the gospel.
SOS Events Ministry needs your prayers for wisdom an good health for the Leaders and Staff.
Your prayers are appreciated. God loves the unreached and He desires that we pray and do what we can to win the lost.
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
