Merry CHRISTmas!

Today, many countries, tribes, and people around the world will pause for a while to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Though no one knows the exact day Christ was born, because this very day has been chosen as a day to remember the event, I join the celebration in my own little way by reflecting about what this day means to me. The very foundation of my faith, my religion, my purpose in life is founded on the fact that a perfect God lowered Himself into a filthy world to save imperfect people because of LOVE. Today is not about  Christmas trees, exchanging of gifts, or eating and drinking, but it is a sober day to rethink the life we are living and realize that we have been given a second chance.

"For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."- Isaiah 9:6-7


The birth of Christ offers the gift of forgiveness and redemption from past sins and things we may have done knowingly or unknowingly that separated us from God. Jesus came to stand in the gap for us that we may be reconciled back unto Him that is called "Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace". Through the birth of Christ we are given the opportunity to have a relationship with God the Father but only if we choose and it is my earnest prayer that we all choose that gift today. We do not deserve it so with humbled spirits, sober minds, and glad hearts, let us reverence this day in Holiness.  May the joy and glad tidings of this season, the same ones the angels sung about, be yours. God bless you all. Merry Christmas!
