Ho! Ho! Ho!...Just W,X & Y to go til Christmas Day, and then 'Z' Day on the 26th...Christmas is, in Reality, a Year-Long, or even a Life-Long Event...Familes, Far & Wide, center their year on Christmas, some family members traveling thousands of miles to be 'Home for Christmas'...So, let's VANISH despair, and look at some 'V' Words that hopefully will make our Christmas Merrier & Brighter...
Isaiah 7:14 "Behold! A VIRGIN shall conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call His Name Immanuel(God with Us)...God did VISIT us on that Holy Night...Sending a Savior to give us VICTORY through Jesus Christ our Lord, Who said in Revelation 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hear my VOICE, and open the door, I will come in to them, and will sup with them, and they with me."...Let's VOW to have a Christmas Eve VISIT with Jesus...And Open our Heart to The VINE....
Jesus said, "I am the VINE, you are the branches; they that abide in Me, and I in them, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me You can do nothing."...The Bible strongly suggests that abiding with anyone else or thing, is VANITY...Instead, let's allow Him to change our VILE body into one like His Glorious Body, as Paul said in Phillipians 3:21....And further, let us VOW to make our body a VESSEL of honor...What we are is God's Gift to us....What we Become...is Our Gift to God....
Jesus, The Good Shepherd, wants us to hear His VOICE, as 'Sheep of His Pasture', and 'Follow Him'...He wants to lead us through the 'Valley of the Shadow of Death' as it says in the 23rd Psalm, but Jesus 'Lights' every valley in our life...There can be 'No Darkness' with Him! 5 years ago, when I was flat on my back in UVA Hospital for about 6 weeks, undergoing 3 'brain' surgeries, I prayed the Alphabet constantly...Talking to God in this way was the 'Only' thing that gave me peace...Realizing, that I was VERY close to death...I still pray the Alphabet today. It seems to give order to my life...God, Brilliant Brain Surgeons...& the Alphabet...Saved my Life!
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, or of 'good report'...If there be any VIRTUE, or any praise, think on 'These Things' (Phillipians 4:8)
Thanks be to God, Who gives us the Victory through Jesus Christ our Lord....O grave, where is thy VICTORY....O Death, where is thy sting?(I Corinthians 15: 55-57)....
Merry Christmas to All....And to ALL a Good Day!
