In Other Words Tuesday

Christmas can tend to be a very stressful time of the year, people are running from one store to the other, trying to buy the newest, most popular gadgets. Then, they are baking and cooking all the usual holiday delights to take to Christmas parties, or family gatherings. You are running around in circles so much, you get totally stressed out, and lose your focus. By the time you finally slow down, Christmas is over. Remember Jesus? Your focus should be upon Him, not all this worldly stuff. He was the precious gift given to us, no other gift can, or will ever top that. Instead of spending money that you actually should not be spending, why not give gifts that are invaluable? Christmas means so much more than gifts, food, parties, it means we were blessed with the light of the world. So, why are we living in darkness? The Grinch stole Christmas, just like satan is doing right now. When we allow satan to rule our hearts and minds during the Christmas season, he is stealing Christmas from us. When giving expensive gifts, becomes more important than giving our love and time to others, he has stolen our Christmas joy. Wake up people, Jesus is love defined, and He cannot be bought. He came to give us the most priceless gifts ever: salvation, eternal life, mercy, joy unspeakable, love overflowing from the fountain of His heart. So, what should we give to others? Jesus!! Share His word, give Him away. Yes, Christmas is so much more, may you realize that, and refuse to give into the world this Christmas. Instead, give your all to Jesus. Celebrate Him with continuous praise.
