Good day to you all, my brothers and sisters in Christ our King!  I pray that peace and joy are with you today!

Here we are.  Three days away from Jesus' birthday.  The day when God took power back from satan.

In the beginning, all was good.  The Lord had made a wonderful world for us.  We had everything we could ever need.  But we strayed.  We gave in to satan and gave him our world.

But God, who so loved the world (us), gave His only Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ.  Now, though we have sinned, we can repent and be forgiven.  And even though satan still rules our world with all of his lies, our souls can be free.  I say "can" because it's up to us.

It's up to us to receive this beautiful gift our Almighty God has given!

Blessed are we!

For we are saved!

Now, we are to shine for others!

Forgive those who have hurt you or done you wrong.

And ask for forgiveness from those you have hurt.

Love those who hurt you.

Pray for them.

Take responsibility for your actions.

Respect everyone and everything.

Love one another.

Be a blessing.

Have a thankful heart.

And ask for forgiveness.

Make knowing God and living for Him your first priority.

These are my resolutions for the rest of my life!

Let's take back the world together!  We are so blessed!  Let's not wait a moment more!

God has a plan for you and I.  We are more then any addiction or label.  We are His children.

That doesn't mean that our lives will be smooth and full of rainbows.

But, we are strong and we can to resist the temptations satan puts in our paths. 

Although our world may seem bleak.  And at times there may seem to be no end to misery or suffering.  We can have thankful and hopeful hearts.

And we are always ready to praise the Lord! 

We understand that, as we are not perfect, neither is the world.  We understand that bad things will happen. But as believers in our powerful Lord, we will come through them wiser and stronger.  And through these things our faith grows also.

Because, satan, you see, we are believers. 

It is already written.  God wins.  We win.

Hold on to that, my brothers and sisters.  We win!

What ever is holding you back, let it go!  We win!

Let it go!  We win!

Stop living in the past.  We win!

Stop waiting for tomorrow.  Do not be afraid for the future.  We win!

We win!  And we have already received the prize.

Praise be to God!

Happy Birthday, Jesus!  Thank you for what you have done for me.  You lived so I could learn.  You then died for me, so, being a no body, waste of space, not worthy, always thinking of myself, taking for granted the wondrous things I have been given - could live.

Oh, my heart aches.  I have done you so wrong, my Prince.  And You love me still.

How my eyes tear knowing that I can never repay you.

I fall to my knees, with my face on the floor, knowing that there is such evil around me but you, My Lord and Savior, reign! 

Thank you, Jesus!  Thank you!

Let us be so thankful!

My brothers and sisters, let us be so thankful!

Our savior reigns!

Peace be to you all!

Be a light this Christmas!
