Romans 14:12
So then everyone of us shall give account of himself to God.

We need to always be aware of what we say and do. One day we will stand before God and give an account for all that we have done, and for the things that we should have done. So let us not be guilty of judging others, and not telling the lost about Jesus. Let be guilty of loving God with all of heart and soul and loving our neighbors as well. Let us tell everyone we see about Jesus and His love for all. So that the lost may accept Jesus.
 

 

Matthew 16:13-19
16.When Jesus came into the coast of Caes-a-re-a a Phi-lip-pi, he asked his disciples, saying, whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14. And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16. And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jo-na: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18. And I say unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Jesus questioned the disciples to see what others were saying. Who others believed that He may be. Then Jesus asked them who they thought He was. Peter makes a great witness, he has been told by God in Heaven and believes with all his heart and knows that Jesus is God's only Son. As Christians we need to be witnessing to others about who Jesus is and what He has done to save us all. Just as Peter did later on we will fall and stumble along the way, but we must ask God to forgive us and lead us to where is work needs done. Peter done great work for God, many times he was beaten and thrown in prison but he kept up the work that God gave him to do.. 
 

 Luke 12:35-40
35. Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36. And ye yourselves like unto the men that wait for their lord, whe he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself; and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known the hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

As children of God we must keep watch and keep our light burning bright. We need to share the news of Jesus with others so that they in turn can be ready also. Here is a poem titled Be Ready

Be Ready
If Jesus came to today would you be ready?
Are you keeping watch, are your footsteps steady?

Are you keeping oil in your lamp?
Has your life got Jesus' approval stamp?

Are you keeping watch through out the day?
Jesus could come at any moment, He could be on His way

Are you ready for the Good Shephard to return?
Keep your light on, for Jesus let it burn

Tell others so they can keep watch for the Master
Of His return God in Heaven is the only forcaster

Like a thief coming in the night
Jesus will return even if it is dark or light.

 Throw away all bitterness and hate
Tell someone about Jesus before it's to late

Clean out the thoughts of all jealousy
Get rid of the concept it's all about me

Add a little faith into the batch
Add love for all that's a great match

Put prayer as the main ingredient today
Be cautious of all you do and say

Add one part patience to all you do
Add one part of forgiveness into the recipe too

Add mercy, peace, and a lot of grace
Remove envy and let love take it's place

Add courage to tell others about God's above
That He sent Jesus to show His love

Start each day with hope and add a smile
Tell others of Jesus all the while

Add a touch of good cheer, do a good deed
Add a touch of compassion, help someone in need

Add a touch of sacrafice, and a lot of joy
Tell others of Jesus, some it may annoy

Add a touch of love keep others in your prayers
That they may accept Jesus, and give Him all their cares

Take one day at a time, there is no promise of tomorrow
Go to God's arms for comfort, when you are filled with sorrow

Add a little sunshine to someone's day
Tell them about Jesus along the way

Mix all together and shake and blend
Your recipe results with Jesus as your best Friend

 

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

Overcoming the World
John 13:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

As I think about these verses I have decided on one thing. This New Year I am going to try even harder to tell others of Jesus and His love for all. I will let God lead me to where He needs His work done. I will let God show me the direction I am to take. He knows the path that I am to travel. I am in good hands when I leave God in charge of my travels, I will have no fear of where He leads me. God will use me in a way so that my light can shine for others, if I give Him the opportunity. So my promise to God is to be a better wittness for Him. To put God first in my life before anything else. Sometimes He gets scooted to the side so I am going to try my best to keep Him in front. I know I fail along the way, but I plan on praying and talking with my heavenly Father more everyday. Then He can show me the direction I am to take. God has been so good to me and blessed my family greatly, I just want to thank you Lord, You are awesome. Praise Your holy name. Thank you for sending your only begotten Son to die on the cross for our sins. So that we could be saved and go to heaven one day.
 

 The Birth Of Jesus





Luke chapter 2 4-5 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Ju-daea, unto the city of David,which is called Beth-le-hem( because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
5: To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

(c:red} Luke chapter 2 7-18
7: And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger; because there was no room for them at the inn.
8: And there in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9: And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10: And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12: And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13: And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly hosts praising God, and saying,
14: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15: And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Beth-le-hem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16: And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17: And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

I love to read this story it brings tears to my eyes to know that God loves us so much to send His only Son to die on the cross for our sins.
He sent Jesus for everyone's sake, if we believe that Jesus was sent to save us from our sins and truly believe that He is God's only Son then we can be saved.
The love that God has for the whole world is amazing.
poem titled The Gift of Love

What does Christmas truly mean to you?
Is it th gifts you receive? Or the good deeds you can do?

Does Christmas mean finding the perfect present for family and friends?
Going from store to store, where the shopping never ends?

The true meaning of Christmas, is celebrating the greatest gift given to us all
That God sent Jesus, He was the only answer to every sinner's call

Let us make Christmas a time of giving
To tell the lost that Jesus is still living

That He gave His life because of His love for us
Spread the news of Jesus and His love, so in Him others will place their trust

When I think of Christmas Jesus is all I think of
Jesus came and gave the greatest gift of love

So instead of wanting to receive, let us think about what we can give
By telling others of Jesus, and His love as long as we live

We need to share the glorious story of Jesus' sacrafice
When sinner's accept Him, they will be thankful for your advice

So spread the news of God's gift of love
So many will accept Jesus and secure their home above
