Jesus: The Perfect Gift

Tomorrow is Christmas Day, the day we anticipate nearly 364 days out of the year. Our boys are giddy with excitement. I pray the true meaning of Christmas doesn't get lost in the sea of torn wrapping paper and bows that will cover our family room floor as soon as three little boys feet hit the floor in the morning. I am forever thankful for my heavenly Father's love for me... that He loved me so much that He would send His son Jesus to earth to pay the ransom for my sins so that I may live eternally with Him. What a precious gift it is and the best part of His gift to me and to you is that it's totally FREE! There's nothing we can do to purchase or earn our salvation, it is a gift! Ephesians 2:8-10  For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
I pray that if you are reading this and you don't have a personal relationship with the Lord that you will ask Him to come into your heart and for Him to be the Lord of your life. If there's a void in your life, no one or no thing can fill that emptiness like the Lord Jesus can. Sure, it can be temporarily filled. But, quickly you'll find that it doesn't stay filled long and then you're on to the next thing to attempt to fill it again. That kind of emptiness can only be filled and totally satisfied when you are filled with the Holy Spirit. We are all created with this void. The Lord wants a relationship with us, but He will not force himself upon us. He gives us free will to choose to follow Him. It's a choice and it's FREE... don't we all love FREE things!?!? Simply ask the Lord to come into your heart:  Dear God, I confess I want and need You. I have sinned. My life isn't what I want it to be, and I'm sure isn't what You want it to be either. I willingly believe You came to earth, died on the cross, and rose from the grave to purchase me a place in heaven with You. Jesus, come into my life and take control. Forgive all my sins and save me. Let me see the reality of You in my life. I'm turning from my sins and placing my trust in You for my salvation. Share with me with Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen. 
I can promise you your life will never be the same! He has changed my life like I never thought possible! Thanks be to God for His Perfect Gift to me! Happy Birthday, Jesus... the best gift I've ever been given!
Merry Christmas to all of my friends and family!!
