Sitting here while the family sleeps on Christmas morning. So thankful for my Savior who was born so many years ago into an enemy-occupied Israel who was waiting for a strong military Messiah who would rescue them from the Romans.
Instead, my Jesus came to rescue men and women from a the worse enemy-occupied problem of sin. Your Jesus came declaring freedom and paid the price for your freedom and my freedom by dying on the cross and rising from the grave! We are free! May His love fill you to overflowing this Christmas and may you experience the grace and freedom He came to bring.
Dear Jesus,
Happy Birthday! I am so thankful for your grace and favor in my life! I cannot begin to imagine life without You! You have washed me clean and made everything brand new. You have taught me to love you and other people. Thank you. Jesus, when You teach me from Your Word I am amazed.
You are the greatest gift I have ever received!
I wish I could gather every star in the Heavens and lay them at your feet. I wish I could bring all of the gold, silver, precious jewels and costly treasure and wrap it up for you today. But, instead, I bring you all that I have: my heart, my life, my dreams, my plans, my ministry, my family, my friends. Everything I have is Yours. Have Your way in my life.
And until the end of time, Jesus, I will love you best. Happy Birthday!
And to all of my dear friends, Merry Christmas!
Merey
