"How Much of Me Does God own?" Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Challenged by how much more I could do as a Christian to make myself stand out from the world. Not as a boastful or showy demonstration, but as a life changed so thoroughly from within, that everyone whom God allows me to come into contact with has no doubt that it is Christ's power within my weakness that makes me strong! Nothing more. Absolutely in Christ Alone!

Jesus is the Reason for the Season

A friend gave me a copy of the following and I thought it was worth sharing :)

Can't believe we're ten days away from Christmas. I have done SOOOOO much in preparation for the special day and have enjoyed the season very much. However, there are still several important things that I had hoped to do waiting on my to-do list. I must buckle down and finish them up. In the meantime, may this make you smile as you take a moment to read it through, and truly rejoice in what it means for those who have accepted Jesus as their Savior!!


Jesus is the Reason for the Season!

Santa lives at the North Pole
JESUS is everywhere

Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water

Santa comes but once a year
JESUS supplies all your needs

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks. . . and then enters your heart

You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name

Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS lets you rest in His arms

Santa Doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?"
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.

Santa says, "You better not cry."
JESUS says, "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you."

Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions

Santa may make you chuckle but
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength

Santa puts gifts under your tree
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree

It's obvious there is really no comparison.
JESUS is still the reason for the season.

I love this! It's so very true. People tend to forget why Christmas is celebrated in the first place. Thanks for sharing this.
