A Christmas Gift-Part 1





          Christmas reminds us of God's greatest gift, Jesus Christ our Messiah.
God loves us so much, he sent His only son to come to Earth, surrender His
reign so to take on the flesh of man and become vulnerable to man's injustices.

            Christ had to surrender and submit to the will of His father in order to accomplish His designated purpose, to be the ultimate sacrifice for the atonement of our sins. I mean, in God's design, the only way for Him to give mercy on us was to have love expressed in such a way as sacrificial giving. Christ not only loved His father, but us as well, yes even you and me.

            Well, preceding Christ's birth, there were two people who had decided to express their love for God through the act of surrender and submission. An act that would cost them the right to themselves through great personal sacrifice. Even through this, they committed themselves to be obedient servants available to God. 

            Over the next couple of blogs, follow me as I share who these two people were and their value of teaching the importance of surrender, submission, and availability to God.

Merry Christmas!

Just A Messenger

I'm just a messenger
contrite yet sincere.
I'm submitted to deliver the message
of whom the author wants His
world to hear.

I'm not here for myself
aiming high, shooting for esteem of man.
I'm just to obey my master, fulfill His masterful plan.

To achieve a goal, yet not completely known, just completing the steps, being responsible for what I've been shown.

Deligence is key! Complete the race even though those to whom the prize is prepared, will never know my face.

Dependency On Christ Brings A Harvest

"I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing."

John 15:5 NASB

How important is it to understand the totality and reality of these words from Christ?

We can not be successful in the call (Matt. 28:19-20) if I do not abide in Jesus!

Fulfilment may not be seeing yourself in a podium speaking to others about how to live for Christ.

Fulfilment is being that one in the audience living out your call. Reaching those God has put before you.
