What if
"All You Wanted for Christmas Were Your Two Front Teeth"
& you didn’t get them,
then what?
Yes, you would be toothless,
but what about your unfulfilled NEED that remained.
Would this CHRISTMAS be marked down as a bad CHRISTMAS?
Your toothless smile would daily remind you of that “bad" CHRISTMAS
& you would hope the next one would be better.
What do you really want
&
what if you never receive it?
Would THIS BABY be a bad baby?
We don't blame Santa
for not receiving what is written on our CHRISTMAS list,
so what about when
GOD
doesn’t give you what you want when you want it?
Do you blame GOD?
I have been there many times and will probably visit that place many more times,
in those moments of
I want what I want when I want it.But what if, just what if,
we accept the gift of what
GOD gives us~
what you NEED when you NEED it
even when it doesn’t look like anything like what you wanted?
Hmm…hard to accept,
especially those times when you refuse
to accept the "gift" because it isn’t
"What I want".
But
because
GOD IS GOD
&
GOD knows you & I
better than we know ourselves,
HE knows what we NEED when we NEED it
& it may not be the what we want when we want it.
The world wanted a
SAVIOR
to bring peace on earth and goodwill to men,
but
GOD
sends a
Little BABY
who does not look like a King.
Who wants to TRUST a BABY for all that he/she NEEDS?
It isn’t about TRUSTING
a BABY,
as it is about
TRUSTING THE ONE
who sent the
GIFT.
THE GIFT
of a swaddled little
BABY,
who was DELIVERED
because
GOD
knew what we all NEEDED.
HE sent
PEACE,
JOY,
HOPE & LOVE
all wrapped up in a
BABY.
HE didn’t send extra teeth, a bike or a car.
HE sent a BABY.
But a BABY?
This gift was all about the GIVER.
"For GOD so loved the world that HE gave HIS One and Only SON..." (John 3:16).
"FOR GOD SO LOVED"
HE sent
THE PERFECT GIFT.
"FOR GOD SO LOVED"
that
HE will give you what you NEED when you NEED it.
which will end up being
what is what you really wanted in the first place.
What is number one on your WANT list?
Is it a person, place or thing?
Or is it just to be happy?
Whatever it is,
it is important to you so it is important to GOD.
And that is why
GOD
sent HIS SON,
as a Little BABY
who would grow up to the be
THE KING
Who everyone NEEDS~
“For whoever believes in HIM shall not perish but have eternal life”.
Accepting this gift from
THE GIVER
will make
THIS BABY
be number one on your want list because
HE
is ALL that you NEED when you NEED it,
today
tomorrow and
beyond December 25.
Because
JESUS is
THE PEACE you WANT
THE HOPE you WANT
THE JOY you WANT
THE LOVE you WANT
THE FORGIVENESS you WANT
THE ACCEPTANCE you WANT
THE PURPOSE you WANT
So if you didn't get your two front teeth for CHRISTMAS,
THANK GOD
because
GOD gave you so much MORE,
for
HE GAVE us
"THE BABY BOY"
