JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

It is so easy to get caught up in the commercialization of Christmas, what you are going to buy others, what others are going to buy you that we can sometimes forget the true meaning of Christmas. Remember while you are enjoy all of your holiday festivities to take time to say Happy Birthday to Jesus.

Bible Verses Regarding the Birth of Jesus
Matthew 1:18-23

This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. she will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." All this took place to fulfill what the Lord has said through the prophet: "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" which means "God with us".

Have a safe Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

GOD'S PROMISES - ENABLERS

You might have friends or family that seem to always be making the same mistakes over and over again. You try to talk to them and steer them in the right direction but it seems like they just can't stop making the same mistakes. You want to reach out and help them when you can but you don't want to be an enabler. 

Pray and ask God to let you know when to step in and help and when to leave it alone. God will give you the wisdom to handle every situation.

GOD'S PROMISES - GREAT THINGS

When it seems as though everyone around you is doing so much better in their life than you are; they have more money, drive fancier cars, have the best jobs and/or business, and are in the perfect relationship, you can become jealous and wish you had what they have.

Be happy for them! Ask God to continue to bless them in their life and ask God to provide you with the things that He has for you.

You don't want what other people have. You want the great things that God has in store for your life!
