“...God is love ...” 1 john 4:16
While we are all so very familiar with this scripture, we can always find a greater place for its expression to us and through us. Christmas brings many memories for all and the one that should be highlighted first and foremost is ~ How great is His love for us in that he has given us his only begotten son and with Him freely gives us all things.
This entrance into family, the privilege of calling Him Father God, gives us a whole new Kingdom to explore. It is filled with New. We begin our exploration with a heightened expectation of great change, old things passed away, all things become new and now, they are of GOD, who IS Love. We enter with wide eyed wonder, as we begin to experience new ideals and new ways. Mesmerized by the beauty we behold, we are overwhelmed by the love and value extended to us. We don’t know much at the beginning, but our hearts are impacted by this vast sense of acceptance. There is now no condemnation. I found myself praying this last season, “may I know the fullness of love before I know judgment.”
His abundant wealth and gifts are set before us to freely receive. Best Christmas ever! To become a partaken of this divine nature, to become so deeply rooted and grounded in Him that we are perfectly one, yields such a freedom of heart and soul, we sing, O come let us Adore Him. How unfathomable the length, the depth, the height, the breadth of His love. What can I bring Him? Hearts swell and knees bow, as we confess His Lordship and Mastery over our yielded lives.
My prayer for us this season, is to come to know and experience the security of His love enabling us to freely give as we have freely received.
May this be a Christmas that once again fills you with the wonder of Jesus, the joy of family and the peace that holds your heart and mind.
Merry Christmas with much love,
Jeanne...
until the New Year......
