A Gift for you
As we approach the holiday season I would like to share with you the gift of Jesus, Merry Christmas.
When I gave my own life to Jesus, the world looked brighter, and my heart was filled with His great joy! Yes, as the years went on great problems came along, but Jesus was always there beside me to help see me through. Whether it was health problems, money problems, car problems, etc, He always saw me through with peace and wisdom. No one is free of problems in life, but it is how you look at them that matters, through your eyes or His. You can worry about them, or you can give them to Jesus for guidance. Answers don’t always come right away; He wants you to keep seeking Him in faith and trusting Him. Then, when the answers do come, it will have strengthened your trusting and developed your faith. Everyday we grow and mature in Him; just as a baby grows so do we, one step at a time. We should go from milk of the Word to eventually the meat of the Word, so that we then can help others. It takes our whole life to learn and grow, and when we reach the end, we will be heaven bound. Amen!
