Today, I feel like expressing my gratitude to the Lord Jesus Christ for coming to this world born humbly in a manger. Living humbly while loving people right where they are. He didn't love their sins, but he loved their souls. So, much that He was willing to give His life and suffer for us in order for us to be with Him forever.
I get excited when I think of how much he cares for me. Because of Him I have hope to live eternally with no more pain, sickness or heartache. One of the most touching scriptures to me is that He will wipe the tears from our eyes. (Paraphrased). I want to know Him now and have a personal one on one relationship with Him. So, on that day when He calls me home, I can stand unashamed of the life I have live. I make mistakes everyday and I am human, but I want to strive to take up my cross daily and follow Him. To mirror that unconditional love that He had for those who are in sin or be a help to those who need encouragement.
I heard a preacher on the radio say today, "If the church praised God like you do, How much praise would there be? If the church prayed like you do, how much prayer would there be. If the church read their Bible like you, how much knowledge of God's word would the Church have? You get the picture. Wow, I was convicted of how much time I spend in doing each one of these.
I believe that we are experiencing those birth pains that God told us about shortly before He will return for His Children. If there ever was a time to do business with God, it's now. We need to be in constant prayer for those who are lost and undone without the Lord Jesus Christ.
May God surround you with His love today and may you share that love with someone around you. We never know what others are going through. Sometimes a simple smile is all it may take to help some one else feel happy. Shine for Jesus!
