A time of giving

This is the time of year that people try and figure out how many gifts they need to give.  I am one of those people, I had my list and went through it person by person.  Then as I sat today thinking about Christmas, I thought it is great to give gifts because of the reaction you get when people open the gift you got them.  Then I realized that the World has twisted the true meaning of this season.  This is the time to celebrate what Christ gave us, which was his birth into this world so that we would always be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.  We rarely focus on this part of Christmas except for the service we may attend on Christmas eve or Christmas day.  The giving we should be doing is that of our souls, to people in our lives who need more than a gift to make them smile.  They may need a hello, a hug, a letter, just something to show that they are worth more than what they can ever imagine. SELAH!

A Sin Offering

When will I realize that what Christ did for me was more than just defeating death. Why is it so hard to comprehend that He sacrificed Himself so that I would not have to bare my own cross.  He became a sin offering, a sacrificial lamb who by His blood we are free.  All of us even those who choose not to believe were covered by His sacrifice. Now they must choose what He has to offer, but it is there for them. God’s love is unconditional and His grace is unexplainable.  I want to take this time in my life and understand what He sacrificed and see myself upon that cross and realize I will NEVER suffer that death because His blood was shed for me and you. AMEN AND AMEN… SELAH

Jesus In Everyone

Where does your day begin?
In a bed or on a bench
We are all crippled by sin
And carry a worldly stench

We walk by our siblings day after day
Our second looks are rarely in admiration
We walk alone as if we are a castaway
Just passing by all of his beautiful creations

Jesus is inside of everyone
Young, Old, Rich, and Poor
He can Never be outdone
He resides at our hearts core

Please! Look past how I am dressed
Or even that I am completely different than you
Jesus suffered for me so I am blessed
I promise I am someone you wish you knew

Jesus looked into a person’s soul
This gift is in all who follow Christ
This, My Friends, should be our ultimate goal
For Jesus paid with his life the ultimate price

Jesus in Everyone
What does this mean?
Well that God’s almighty and loving son
Died so we could all be made clean

Love all those who come in your path
Pray even for the ones who curse you
People who do not fear will feel his wrath
Forgive them for they do not have a clue

Open your eyes to all who are in need
Know in your heart God’s will be done
Even a whisper of his name and you plant a seed
Remember, Jesus in Everyone!
