A New Year

\

New year.

New beginnings.

New start.

New life.

New person.

..........................

The start of a new year then is a chance for a fresh new start. We make New Year resolutions  to do something different in the New Year.

It's kind of that way with Jesus.

When we get saved it's like the new year starting... we have a fresh start at life. We are a new person. And like having New Year resolutions then we look at God's Word to do something different in our lives.

When you surrender your all to Christ than you have a new start, you are a new creation in Him.

2 Corinthians 5:17,

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come."

So as you go into this new year than ask yourself, "What do i want to do different?" 

Live for Christ completely, every day, every year.

Happy New Years!!!

Jesus is the reason for the season.

I hear that all the time... but I wonder how many people really think about it? 

Christmas is celebrating Jesus's birth. It's celebrating Jesus.

Luke 2:7, "Then she gave birth to her firstborn Son, and she wrapped Him snugly in cloth and laid Him in a feeding trough—because there was no room for them at the lodging place."

It's easy for people (including me) to get caught up in the lights, pretty bows, and presents... we lose sight of what Christmas is really about. 

The name Christ is in Christmas... He is what Christmas is about.. He came to save and to redeem.

So this Christmas if you don't get what you really wanted than remember that you have the Greatest Gift ever available to you. Jesus.

Remember that Christmas is Jesus. Don't lose sight of Him in the flurry and busyness of the Christmas season.

Christmas is love, joy, peace, hope.... Jesus.

I hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Love Came Down

Love Came Down. 

I have never really thought about the meaning of the sentence--Love Came Down. 

Jesus humbled Himself to come onto earth. 

Luke 1:68, "Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited

and provided redemption for His people."

John 3:16, "For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life."

God made had a plan. He loves us so He sent His Son to die on a cross for our sins so that we can have a relationship with Him.

Christmas is celebrating Jesus's birth... but it is also celebrating His death and resurrection because that is why He came. He came to save us.

Love came down. 

Merry Christmas!

You Are

All your life you are told who you should be. You are put up to a standard that our culture put up. 

You are told who you are. 

Are you really where you want to be?

If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and personal Savior than you are brand new.

You are redeemed..

Psalms 31:5, "Into Your hand I entrust my spirit; You redeem me, Lord, God of truth."

You are beautiful...

Song of Solomon 1:15, "How beautiful you are, my darling. How very beautiful!"

You are new...

2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come."

You are loved...

John 3:16, “For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life."

You are chosen...

John 15:16, "You did not choose Me, but I chose you."

And so much more....

Never forget Whose you are.

Be who you are in Christ Jesus

Impossible Made Possible

Every feel like something is too big for you to handle?

We've all been there. Thankfully for us we have a Creator who can do anything.

Matthew 19:26 says, "But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

God can do anything. If something is too big for you to handle talk to God. He's always there for you, He loves you. 

Nothing is impossible with God.
