Jesus, the Babe of God- His Son and our Savior and Lord! A Prayer of Salvation! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to YOU!

Merry Christmas 2017 and Happy New Year for 2018- 
With God, ALL things are possible!

Greetings in our Lord and Savior's Name,

Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

May you find Him close to your heart and mind, having Him as your personal Savior and the Lord of your life.

There is a ***Salvation Prayer toward the end of today's posting~~~please pray it or say in your own words to God that you believe in Jesus and want God in your life forever.  Ask the Lord to forgive your sins and mistakes- He most certainly will!  This may be your first time, or it may be a re-commitment...  His love for you is fathomless, never-ending, and magnificent- more than anyone has ever loved you, more than all people in your life, in total, are capable of loving you!

Here are a few of my poems about God~~~the Father, His Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, three Persons, yet One Sovereign God Who made you and me and all the heavens and earth.  Yet, God is also Spirit.

Long Memories and Gratitude

Oh, Lord, keep our memories long

With plentiful gratitude

For what you have done.

May we not be as

We were from Egypt

To the Promised Land:

Longing for meat, instead of Your manna

In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:6

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sweet little Dove

From heaven above:

Come down, from on high,

To prove Yourself King

By and by.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Good News of Jesus Christ

Is that He lives today among us,

His believers,

And He reigns o’er the entire world

That none of us should perish.

The Holy Spirit works and hovers

To move us to Christ.

So come, come now

To Lord Jesus

Your Savior.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

God usually speaks

I have found-

In a quiet voice.

You will hear

Him clearly, softly.

It is definitely

There.

Make no mistake.

Avoid the oft

Human response

Of overlooking,

Procrastinating,

Going on.

Have you noticed?

How God seems

To speak quietly

When guiding,

Then sometimes

Comes deeply

Through action

To get our attention?

However He leads and

Speaks to you,

We should definitely

Listen, friends!

He is our Creator.

He made the world and

All that is in it.

God thinks that we are the important ones,
However!
God is Holy, 
there is no one above Him, 
All the glory always goes to Him,
and He alone! is sovereign...
Over All- that includes 
most certainly,

You and me.

A note: God speaks to us in a myriad of ways!!  He is all-capable.  One of the best pieces of advice ever given me was by a Christian friend, Joni Ames; don't put God in a box.  She was right- He cannot be put in a box!***   The Lord spoke to me one day a few years ago in a very crowded and loud foyer at church while I was talking to a married couple, who are friends of mine.  God's Voice and helpful directive in a sentence was unmistakable. 

My point: God speaks to us, not only in quietness, but in so many ways!  He can and does break through to us!!  Ask Him to help you in your belief and your walk. Even if you are an unbeliever as of now, ASK HIM to help you to believe!  He will!! 

Many true believers, disciples of Christ, find that spending time in The Holy Bible (the Bible) with God in His Word, in prayer and listening, is a great way to learn about our Lord: the Trinity, Who is the One, True God.  We show El Olam, the Everlasting God, that we love Him enough to take some dedicated moments with Him~ alone~ each day- and to hear His Voice for guidance.  

The Lord Almighty always refreshes us, never drains us or makes our time feel like work/toil.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In His Presence

Won’t we be softened

By being in the presence

Of our Lord?

Won’t we be purer

When we sit at His feet?

In His shining countenance,

With loving, outreached arms

For us,

In the fragrance of His Home-

Oh, it will surely be sweeter

Than any earthly fruit could bear

Our clear faces will reflect

Precious Jesus’ smile,

And when we look back at Him,

He will see the love

We were meant to have for Him

In the beginning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love the way

Everything just stops

For a little while

At Christmas…

All of the craziness

Ceases,

And we bow down

To worship

Our Lord and King, Jesus.

It’s so soundlessly

Beautiful,

As we all stop

To stare

At the newborn Savior

Of heaven and earth.

***A Salvation Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

I know I have fallen short many times and been less than You would have me to be.  Please forgive me of my shortcomings and errors; I want to do better and to rely on you as my Lord and Savior, Jesus.  I believe You are the Son of God and that You came to earth to save us- me.  Thank You for loving me so much!  I want You as the Lord of my new Life.  I know I can talk with You, Jesus, at any time, and You are right here with me.  You are my true Friend- You lay down Your Life for me!!  Thanks for sending the Holy Spirit to comfort, guide, and counsel me.

In Jesus' Name I pray,

Amen- so be it.

  Almighty God richly blesses you in Christ.
