MY CHRISTMAS LESSON

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given..." Isaiah 9:6
"For God So loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son..." John 3:16

Christmas is the season of the celebration of the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. The birth of Jesus signifies above all things the wisdom of God. God wanted so badly to reconcile with you and I; he craved for an eternal fellowship with man. God knew how important man was and how essential it was to have men recognize Him as their father. Man was like a sheep without any shepherd, he was like an orphan with no one to care for. God wanted so much to be man’s Shepherd, Father and All in All.

But you might wonder why God didn’t just automatically turn the hearts of men to Himself, after all He is the creator, He could have just used His power. I mean, that is what I would have done if I were God. I created them so I have total power and control over them, I wouldn’t have sent my only begotten Son to suffer and die. God could have done just that but He chose not to. Instead He sent His Son as a ransom and payment for a chance to be in a relationship with man.

God understood that to get something as important as that, something needed to be given. And not just anything (because God could have just sent the least of His angels) but something dear to Him- His Son! This is the greatest display of Wisdom ever; our God is a very wise God.

God wants us to learn from this too; He wants us to learn how to sacrifice and compromise. Many of us seek a relationship with both God and men but do not know that we have to give some things up like our time, money, love, life and everything that seems so dear to us.

As Christians, Christmas should remind us of how important giving our best is. God gave His beloved and only son and in return has gotten billions of sons on earth crying ‘Abba Father’ day and night. He has gotten loyal sons who like Jesus are always ready to die for the Gospel and Glory of the Father.

In the New Year we must learn to cultivate the attitude and lifestyle of giving the best we have, it doesn’t have to be all you have but just the best and most precious. To have a good relationship with your fellow men you must learn to compromise, it shouldn’t always be about what you want from them but what you can offer. You have to learn to first think of what to give, just like God first of all thought of giving His son before asking for man’s hand in a relationship.

· You can’t give what you don’t have; Jesus was all God had.
· Give your best; Jesus is God’s best
· You can’t reap where you have not sown; God sowed on earth and he reaped from earth
· You can’t reap what you have not sown. God sowed a Son and He reaped Billions in return.
· Be wise like God.
· The greatest act of wisdom is giving.
· If you want eternal life you must give God your life first.
· If want to be loved you must first give your own love.

Thanks and God bless you.
Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

Imperfect Change

It doesn't look like much, I know. However, I feel like I have achieved something today. I haven't worn a jean skirt in the last 3 years, but today I wore one. I've been staring at this skirt for weeks in my bag but today I stood up, picked it up and wore it. I didn't do much thinking about it. I didn't look in the mirror to see what it looks like. I just wore anyhow. We all have those things we have refused to do for one silly reason or the other and some for no reason at all.   We know we need to change but we're waiting for the time we think we'll be ready for the change. And the fact is, we'll never be truly ready to make the required change. We don't have to be ready, we just have to make the change anyhow we can. We have to grab the change at the neck and make it anyway. Just like this skirt looks one me, when the change is made, we'll be imperfect at first but then the change has occurred anyway. Your first attempt at doing that n...

I Blame Myself

One empath struggle I constantly battle with is always feeling responsible for how I am treated by others. When someone does or says something hurtful to me, my first thought is that I caused it. "If I had respected myself enough to establish boundaries, X wouldn't have had the audacity to do this" "If I had worked harder on my career, I wouldn't be here to receive X treatment" The crazy list goes on... Once in a while I speak up immediately but most of the time I blame myself. I always expect more from myself and feel I shouldn't have put myself in a position to be hurt. Writing about it now makes me realize how hard I am on myself. It just doesn't make sense to be hard on the one person that you have. The one who's been with you true thick and thin - YOURSELF. How hard can it be to be kind to yourself?

HOLD ON

I almost gave up, thinking I couldn’t take life anymore, but I heard a voice telling me to be still. There’ve been days when I fell so sick, so sick that I felt like it was the end. So sick that I wondered why I was brought to this earth in the first place. So sick that I couldn’t breathe, so sick I was ready to give up but He told me to hang on. There’ve been days when depression weighed me down. I felt I had no reason to be happy. I felt that life wasn’t working as it should. I felt like I had had enough of life, family and friends. I felt like dying (if only dying was the solution to depression). I felt so out of this world. I began to wonder if someone was really up there or whether I was the one being so insane to think that there was a big man living in the sky and controlling the earth. Because if there was really someone up there, all these bad things wouldn’t have happened. She wouldn’t have died, I wouldn’t have had a blocked chest….. She wouldn’t have died just like that...
