AHHH CHRISTMAS!! :)

Hello Everyone! :)

There are other exciting blessings that I will be sharing in following blog posts but I wanted to wrtie a short blurb about my ROOM! :) I know it is not even Thanksgiving yet BUT my wonderful friends MICHELLE and JANA Helped me Decorate my ROOM FOR CHRISTMAS!!!! YAY JESUS! I am SOOOO psyched! We also listened to Christmas music!!!! Christmas is MY FAVORITE Season!! I Love Jesus and I am SOOO thankful that we can Celebrate His birth! Even if we do not know the actual date of His birth. What a blessing to come together and praise the Savior who sacrificed it all for us! Thank you Father God that you sent Jesus to die for us that we may be saved and have eternal life! (John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8). I have a Christmas Tree with PRETTY colored lights, a stocking, and a felt sign that says "Let It Snow" with a snow man on it! I also have a Nativity set under my Christmas Tree! Some people may not like to celebrate Christmas or put up decorations/a tree but the Bible does say that what Satan meant for evil God uses for Good! Therefore we should come together as a body of Believers and lift up our lives to the one who saved us all! I love having a Christmas and lights to provide a physical representation of the Christmas Season Spirit! :) I have a t-shirt that says, "Jesus did not place his gift under the tree but on it." I am so astounded by this realization! That is why I love having Christmas trees and lights! I want to symbolize Christ's sacrifice and the let His LIGHT shine just as He did 2000 years ago! Thank you Father God for your wonderful Grace and Mercy! Thank you Jesus that you Gave your life as the ultimate sacrifice! I love you and praise you! May I serve you well all the days of my life in Jesus Name! I appreciate your love and blessings that are poured out each day over me; thank you that I am able to pour out and overflow and abundance to your people! :) I praise you and give you all of the Honor and the Glory in Jesus Name, AMen!

Thanks everyone for reading my post!!! I appreciate you and love you! May God Continue to richly bless you for your efforts to reach His people! God Bless you! Yay Jesus!

P.S. Below is a picture of part of my room, including my TREE :) Yay Jesus! Thank you Father God for your mercy and grace in Jesus Name! :)

Signed,
A True Sister in our beloved Christ Jesus :)

Unconditional L.O.V.E.

"The feelings of love follow the actions of love." -unknown

What a marvelous statement. I heard this from the KLove online radio this evening. Most of us grow up understanding that "love" is an emotion in which "loving" actions will follow. However, this is only a small portion of true love. Yes, there are feelings of infatuation that help you stay attracted to someone, however, it is destructive to believe that true love is driven from emotions. Unconditional love is seen when it is most difficult to stay in your relationship. None of us are perfect; we certainly all fall short of God's glory. However, Praise the Lord for His word, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8. Thank you Jesus, not for my sin, but for your strong UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! I Praise you for Victory and wisdom to love You, Ryan, and others as you love and forgive them. Thank you for strength, grace, and mercy to grow in our relationship with you and one another despite our faults. If you take anything away from this short post, please seek God's understanding for how to better love HIS people! He chooses to love even (what we as humans consider) the worst sinners. P.S. I also have news that all of our sins are held accountable and we are no better or worse than anyone who commits murder or adultery. The Bible says that whoever has lustful thoughts commits adultery, and a man who hates in his heart commits murder (Matthew 5:28; 1 John 3:15). Therefore, PLEASE be careful and mindful to love your neighbor! Love one another as Christ loves them, as you would want to be loved in Jesus Name! True unconditional love comes from a choice. 1 John 4:19 says, "We love because He first loved us." Be encouraged to stand firm and love wholeheartedly! Trust in Jesus and know that HE will give you the strength and wisdom you need to truly love others! :) Yay Jesus! God Bless you! :)
