Merry Christmas

As we celebrate this day let us not lose sight of the first Christmas present ever given, that being God giving us His Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, to dwell with us!

So let us not get lost in all the hustle and bustle of this time of year. Instead, let us be mindful of all our blessings, and share the Christmas Spirit with others. Remembering:

THE GREATEST Gift

The greatest gift at Christmas  time
Is one we all may give -

A friendly smile that helps to make
Life easier to live.

A kindly thought, a helping hand,
To show someone we care

And let them know how much it means
For us to have them here.

The greatest gift at Christmastime
Costs not a lot to buy -

It's being a good neighbor
As days and months go by:

It's offering a shoulder
When someone needs a lift,

And so I pray this Christmas Day
That this may be your gift!
Poet, Grace E. Easley

May you have a Very Merry Christmas, and a Wonderful New Year!

Never lose hope when you pray.

12ASK AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU; SEEK, AND YOU WILL FIND; KNOCK, AND IT WILL BE OPENED TO YOU. LUKE 11:9-10LUKE 11:9-10
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV

9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

*NKJV

Those are the words of our Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus also said, "IF YOU ABIDE IN ME, AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, YOU WILL ASK WHAT YOU DESIRE, AND IT SHALL BE DONE FOR YOU." JOHN 15:7JOHN 15:7
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV

7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.  

WP-Bible plugin

Now these verses do not mean that everything we may ask for will be given to us, but do mean that if it is God's Will for us it will happen! After all we may ask for something that would hurt us in the end, for we have no way of knowing the future.

Therefore when you pray do not be afraid to ask God for something that you desire, knowing that He who knows all is looking out for you. For God has said: THEN YOU WILL CALL UPON ME AND COME AND PRAY TO ME, AND I WILL LISTEN TO YOU. YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART. JEREMIAH 29:12-13JEREMIAH 29:12-13
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV

12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Also do not think that God has abandoned you if a prayer isn't answered the way you want.  After all, in time, you may look back on that prayer request and say "Thank God, He Didn't Answer That One!"

Therefore, never lose hope when you pray for it is written, THE EFFECTIVE, FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILS MUCH.  ( JAMES 5:16JAMES 5:16
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

To WHOEVER CONFESSES AND FORSAKES will have mercy.

4 HE WHO COVERS HIS SINS WILL NOT PROSPER, BUT WHOEVER CONFESSES AND FORSAKES THEM WILL HAVE MERCY." PROVERBS 28:13PROVERBS 28:13

13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

*NKJV

When we confess our sins and ask for God's forgiveness, they are cleaned from the Book Of Life by the Most Precious Blood of our Savior Jesus Christ. It is then that those sins are not only forgiven, but they are also forgotten by our Heavenly Father as well. For it is written, "I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE." HEBREWS 8:12HEBREWS 8:12
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.  

WP-Bible plugin

Now that doesn't mean that we may continue to do the same sin over and over, and still be forgiven each time we repent. After all the first verse does state "WHOEVER CONFESSES AND FORSAKES THEM" does it not?

Therefore when you pray remember the confession of your sins should be a daily routine, for to be of the flesh is to be of a sinful nature. However God realizes that, so never feel that because of your past sins God will never forgive you! After all you are His Child, and HE Loves You very much!
