Come Let Us Worship and Bow Down, Let Us Kneel Before the LORD, Our GOD, Our Maker

Christmas is in the air, it is brisk and clear, even here in Phoenix,  and I love this time of year. Even with all the commercialization, the rushing, shopping and craziness it can create, I love it still.   I love watching Charlie Brown Christmas, and It's a Wonderful Life on TV.  All that aside,  I am sitting before the Lord in Worship.
 PLEASE won't you take the time to sit quietly and reflect on the giver of every good and perfect gift. 
Christmas is about the birth of a King... the KING of Kings, Jesus Christ. Why? "For God so loved the world, that HE gave his only  begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life."  God loves YOU! He knows you, he created you, in your mother's womb, He, even now is drawing you with loving-kindness to the truth of Christ Jesus and your need for what Christ brought in His life on earth and unjust death. Jesus died to pay the penalty in full for your every sin. We often think of sins as things we don't do, but sin can be an attitude and the Bible declares that every thing apart from faith is sin. None of us are without sin, we desperately need a solution for our sin problem... JESUS CHRSIT is the only way. He declared, in John 14:6; "I AM the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, but by Me."
Will you please take the time today to reflect on all that you personally have received this year and consider that you need this Baby to born in your heart this year, this day. Today is the day of salvation, do not harden your heart and rebel.  Jesus says to you today; "Come unto me, all you who are weary and heavy-laden and I will give you rest."  HE is only a prayer a way, Call upon the LORD and be saved.  I cannot promise you a new year full of your every dream fulfilled, but I can promise you Peace, the Peace that Christ alone can give.  He will change your life from the inside out, if you but come and keep coming to Him, to sit and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. 
I pray the fullness of the goodness of God in CHRIST JESUS, for you today and everyday, until He returns. He could come for His beloved ones at any moment, don't put it off, be prepared.
"Let every heart prepare HIM room -  and Heaven and Nature sing  Joy to the World.
