GOD looked down at
HIS PERFECT CREATIONS
living in the
PERFECT GARDEN
and smiled and
maybe even let out a belly laugh,
and said,
"IT IS GOOD".
But then it wasn't so
GOOD,
as it took only one bite of the forbidden fruit
that dropped to the ground
to make what was
GOOD no longer GOOD.
GOD looked down at
the apple seeds that dropped into the ground,
to grow IMPERFECT into HIS WORLD.
BUT GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
that HE sent another
SEED
that would grow
IN THE HEARTS
of
ALL who would CHOOSE
to
"Taste and see that the LORD is GOOD"
(Psalm 34:8)
instead of eating the LIES
of the crafty serpent,
who is alive and well
and STILL striving to tempt
GOD'S CHILDREN
away from their
CREATOR.
But he lost his power
the moment
THE SEED
was born
on that
Silent Night
under the STAR
that shone so brightly
to announce HIS BIRTH
that
would change the world,
FOREVER into BEYOND this world.
For GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
that
ALL HE asks is
for you & I & everyone else
TO BELIEVE in
THE BABY
who came that night
to bring
GOODNESS back to the world.
So
what if your only CHOICE is to BELIEVE?
You see JESUS standing before you,
because HE didn't stay a BABY.
You look at HIS scars as HE reaches out HIS arms to you.
You hear HIS voice so clearly and you wonder if HE is speaking to you.
"COME".
And you wonder "where" is HE asking you to COME.
And then HE says it~
"TO ME".
You look behind you to see if HE is talking to someone else,
because why would HE be talking to you.
Doesn't HE know what you did or what you are doing now.
Because if HE really knew you, would HE be talking to you?
Yes, Yes & Yes.
And that is why HE says
"COME TO ME ALL."
ALL~
not just the good, or the better or the best.
It is just the you & me & everyone else,
for there is no discrimination
when it comes to
JESUS.
So what do you do?
Do you "COME" just as you are
or do you try to clean up your act first
and make yourself presentable?
You wait & listen to HIM because HE has more to say~
“Come to ME, ALL
who are weary & heavily burdened
[by religious rituals that provide no peace],
and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation].
Take My yoke upon you & learn
from ME [following ME as ME disciple],
for I am gentle and humble in heart,
& you will find rest [renewal, blessed quiet]
for your souls. For MY yoke is easy[to bear] and MY burden is light"(Matthew 11:28-30 AMP).
What if your only choice IS to BELIEVE?
What if the only
CHRISTMAS GIFT
is
WRAPPED in a box
with an
INVITATION
on the
GIFT TAG
that has your name clearly written on it
and the word
BELIEVE.
And all you have to do is to
COME
and pick up
THE GIFT,
because all you
really
WANT
this very second
and in every second,
is in the box.
Because there
HE IS
for you to
RECEIVE
THE GIFT THAT KEEPS GIVING
beyond
CHRISTMAS DAY
because
THE GIFT
is
THE WHO you really NEED.
And now you understand it all.
You really get it.
For GOD'S INVITATION
is
JESUS INVITATION
for you to
COME
and
BELIEVE
so that
HE can
give you all that you
NEED in this very moment.
Because
JESUS doesn't stop
GIVING you what you NEED.
even if you don't have all that you want.
What do you NEED right now?
CHRISTMAS IN JULY!
For on that starry night
JESUS CAME
and
JESUS is COMING again
to make all wrongs
PERFECTLY RIGHT.
Because
CHRISTMAS was just the open door
for JESUS to enter into our HEARTS.
For the story has just begun,
because
HE will
COME AGAIN
to take ALL who BELIEVE IN HIM
back to the
PERECT GARDEN
where there will no longer be
a crafty serpent
feeding lies.
So what is CHRISTMAS all about~
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
that HE won't leave it with an
apple with one bite~
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes,
and
there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow,
nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain;
for the former things are passed away"
(Revelation 21:4).
Therefore,
LIVE CHRISTMAS
in this very moment
because
CHRISTMAS IS HERE~
JESUS,
who is GOD'S FOREVER GIFT
who
continues
TO GIVE to you
ALL THAT YOU NEED,
until that day
when
HE WILL
"COME"*
again.
