Bright Hope

Colossians 1:27
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

What is Christmas all about?

The Presence of God in whosoever believes on Jesus as the only begotten Son of God.

It's the Light come into the world to show us the Way.

It's the Presence of God not the Presents.

The Peace between God and Man, Not peace on earth.

The Gift from God, that none need perish because HE sent His Son to redeem mankind to eternal life.

Today, this day, Rejoice for the Lord is come. The King of Glory born to die and rise again that any who believe in Him might have eternal life.

Today is a day of Hope, of Life, of the Glory of God.

REJOICE!!!

What is Christmas all about?

John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

This time of year, many try to put into words what Christmas means. I think the verse above spells it out.

What excitement! Can you imagine the scene in heaven before Christ's birth? So exciting and profound that angels came to announce His birth.

A star was set in the heavens to guide wisemen to the place of His birth.

Everything was ready. The time was right for the birth of the Savior of the World.

And heaven and earth waited for the King of Kings to grace the abode of men. And in coming, Jesus, Immanuel, = God with us.

Get excited! For many this season will be their time of receiving the King. Send out the invitations. There are still those wisemen seeking the Lord. Be very excited. For the King of Kings Reigns. And HE is coming again.

Rejoice

DAY 90

Little wisps of fog float across the pond looking like clouds on earth. One of my surprises for the day. The Lord was telling me He always provides things of wonder for us to see, but we often miss them.

See how many treasures you can spot today. They might look like a kind smile from a stranger, or a sweet song from a bird welcoming spring.

Maybe even discover how you can bring joy to someone else.

Psalm 34:8
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

It doesn't take any more time to think on what is good than it does to think on what's wrong.

Choose to look for the good things, trust God to handle what's wrong, and rejoice in the day.
