The Christmas Season is upon us. The mentioned colors sparkle and represent the arrival of the King of heaven and earth
I am rich. I am the Daughter of the King. I am an heir to eternal life. My name is written in The Lamb’s Book of Life. I am justified by Grace, through Faith.
It is a time of awakening…new birth…new life…and a time of God recreating all of us. Father, you sooooo… recreated me. Fifty years ago, I was clueless…even after 12 years of Christian Education. I was not taught to read the Bible.
What does wealthy truly mean? Family…together… all in the name of Jesus Christ. My true wealth, wisdom, and healing, came from soaking my mind with the Word of God.
I tutor a boy, whose parents were born in Viet Nam. He kept saying to me,”I want to be rich!”
My answer was the following: Son, you are already rich! Look how hard your mom and dad work, to give you this beautiful home. Dad is at the shop 6 days a week. They give you love, safety, and are teaching you a great work ethic. However, being rich, also means spiritually rich.”
He answered, “My Gramma is reading the Bible. Is that what you mean?” You can only imagine my answer. Father, you opened the door, and I was toast. Mom was present and was ok with me sharing.
ABBA, as I sit watching my twinkling Christmas tree, I am caught up in the color and the light. You whisper to me: “Jesus, the Savior Of The World has arrived! Become the light to many and proclaim your wealth, through the Holy Spirit; he indwells you.”
I love the song sung by Burl Ives,”Silver and Gold.” It proclaims the true wealth of the season.
As I prepare for the holidays, help me to reflect the following to my colleagues: Jesus is the Reason for the Season! May the wealth of your Righteousness…thru Grace…pour over me. May I be a spiritual inspiration to others, this season.
Thank you, Father, for being with me and never leaving me. Thank you, for blessing me this day.
2 COR. 8:9 For you know the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty, you might become rich.
Luke 2:13-14 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,”Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth to men of good will.”
Phil 2:6 Who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.
