John 3:16
Jesus said, 16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Father in Heaven~
Your extravagant love is wonderful! It’s a wonder that You’d love a wicked and wrecked world so much that You’d gave us Your One and Only dear Son. He is all we really need this Christmas!
Today I open my hands and gratefully receive the incredible, indescribable gift sent personally to me from the hallowed halls of heaven. Claiming this costly cargo saved my life. Sunken in the scratchy sack of straw is Your sweet Son, my Savior.
The day I opened the door and brought You into my mixed up, messed up life, You promised to stay with me forever. Although I was a pitifully destitute ragamuffin, You lovingly chose, adopted, and accepted me as Your dearly loved child. You tenderly scrubbed away the dirt and grime from my past until I sparkled with purity. Then, You gave me an expensive robe of righteousness to cover my indignity.
Spotless and shameless, You graciously reserved a room for me in Your heavenly home where, as an heir, I’ll live and worship You forever. It’s paid for in full, guaranteed by Your Family seal that’s etched on my heart. This Christmas I’ll celebrate my abundant, everlasting life with You.
Realizing the magnitude of Your excessive love, I’ll burst with excitement! When I exhibit the manger on the mantle of my mind year round, I’ll remember to eagerly offer the extreme gift of grace to an imperfect, immoral and impious world. With the Star of Heaven hovering over my heart, every day will be Christmas. I’ll glorify You in heaven on high by demonstrating peace on earth and good will toward mankind. Thank You Father, for giving me Your Son! He is all I ever need and it is through Him I pray. Amen.
I hope the prayers from my heart resonate in your heart this Christmas. All we really need is Jesus!
If you’ve never opened the door of your heart to Him, He is standing out in the cold, knocking, waiting to come in and give you all these glorious gifts. Open the door and invite Him in by praying a simple prayer: "Jesus, thank you for dying for my sins. Right now I open the door and invite you to come into my life. Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me an eternal relationship with you."
Whatever is going on in your world this Christmas, there is no greater gift you could give yourself than to receive the One who came to earth for us.
If you prayed this prayer, I would love to hear about it!
Merry Christmas from my heart to yours.
