Once Upon A Time
IT HAPPENED
to you & me & everyone else.
And you & me & everyone else
had no power to make IT HAPPEN.
Because no one wishes themselves into existence.
A PURPOSEFUL GOD PURPOSED you into existence.
Think about that.
Close your eyes. And let it sink in.
GOD PURPOSELY CREATED YOU
as no one knits by accident.
"For YOU created my inmost being; YOU knit me together in my mother's womb."*
Did you read that? Did you really read it?
Oh how I forget that I am
GOD'S CREATION
when I start to ride the woe is me train,
when I grow weary
when I want what I want when I want it
and don't get what I want when I want it.
And then GOD draws me closer to HIS HEART
and reminds me that HE PURPOSELY created me.
And when this simple TRUTH hits your heart
you become so connected to your CREATOR that you
THANK GOD through PRAISE~
"I praise YOU because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. YOUR eyes saw my unformed body" *(Psalm 139).
Make today your BIRTH DAY.
Close your eyes. And let IT sink in.
THE GOD WHO MATTERS SAYS YOU MATTER AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.
Could you imagine what the world would be like
if we all treated everyone
as
GOD'S CREATIONS
and stopped complicating things
and just stopped long enough to
embrace the TRUTH
that our FATHER IN HEAVEN
is the same FATHER for ALL.
And then when this great TRUTH is embraced
then everyone would embrace the
TRUTH
that
“For this is how GOD loved the world:
HE gave HIS one and only SON,
so that everyone who believes in HIM will not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
GOD gave JESUS
for ONE & FOR ALL
the moment
IT HAPPENED to JESUS
on that one SILENT NIGHT
when JESUS came dressed as a BABY.
A BABY.
A PRECIOUS BABY.
Just like how we came into this world,
but JESUS came to take us out of this world
to an ETERNITY
to a PERFECT WORLD
where we will ALL be PRAISING GOD
ALL the time.
So on this FRIDAY when
THANKSGIVING remains in your belly
and the CHRISTMAS shopping begins
make this
A GOOD FRIDAY
remembering the ONE
who hung on a CROSS
for ONE & for ALL
to give us ALL
our HAPPILY EVER ENDING.
PRAISE GOD today
as you remember your
ONCE UPON A TIME beginning
and
PRAISE JESUS
as you embrace your
HAPPILY EVER AFTER ending IN HIM.
Will you join me through
ADVENT
DECEMBER 1 -24
through our
DAILY ADVENT DEVOTIONAL SERIES
as we answer the question
"WHO IS THIS BABY"
so we will
embrace this CHRISTMAS SEASON
by embracing
THE BABY who is CHRISTMAS
Because
"A BABY CHANGES EVERYTHING"
(listen to the song below)
