Merry Christ is the Way, Truth and Life this day and everyday to you all! As the world over are and have exchanged gifts, there is a sense of excitement, especially among the children. Some have received gifts they have been wanting, others haven't, but received more like what they need and many out there on the streets are just trying to survive life. There are also those Many who are very alone and filled with despair and yet there is ONE GIFT no matter where you are, made available to every human soul. There is only ONE GIFT, that is the GREATEST and MOST FULFILLING gift His created beings could EVER receive.
Creator Abba Father Yahweh Elohim gave such a gift out of His DEEP love for His created beings. The gift of His Son! To those whose eyes are made open through Spirit to behold such a gift of SALVATION will take it beyond this realm. Anything you have and receive in this life by way of riches, material things and on and on will not go with you when you breath your last breath. What will follow you when you have repented of your wretched sinful ways and BELIEVE (adhere to, rely on, trust and obey the words of) Jesus who died for you while you we were yet a sinner, a scoffer and hater of Creator God, is eternal life.
And what of eternal Life? One of my favorite scriptures I hold on to as we plunge into a time of great tribulation and persecution of His lambs, mass death and the rise of anti Christ is this~
1 Corinthians 2:9-10
It is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.
What does it profit you or me if we gain this world and or the things of this world in exchange for our soul?
Keep your eyes on the GREATEST GIFT and PRIZE as you run this race of life for the upward call in Christ! For the sufferings in this life CANNOT COMPARE to the glory that shall be revealed in, to and through us!
It's going beyond the manger,(which is just the beginning) of being babes, to accepting the crucified, risen Savior Yeshua Jesus into our hearts and giving HIM full charge of our lives by His indwelling Spirit to daily rid us of our sinful nature in place of His Divine Nature.
THANK YOU ABBA FATHER for the GIFT of Yeshua! For Eternal Life! The Hope of our redemption. The working of our salvation with fear and trembling. The enduring with You till the end so that we might be saved. The fixing of our gaze on Yeshua Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. You, who began a good work in us will COMPLETE IT! To sharing in the fellowship of Your sufferings and becoming like you in Your death so that we may attend to the resurrection of the dead! To enduring the cross daily, dying to self, following You and scorning it's shame knowing we are already seated together with You in heavenly places from where You see it all outside of time and space.
My prayer, Abba Father is for You to gather Your children out there throughout the world who have yet to be awakened to the GREATEST GIFT and come into their rightful place as your children, Heirs with You and joint heirs with Christ Yeshua!
