Christmas is just a wonderful time of year. In Australia it's a hot time of year, a dry time of year and for majority of people it's a time where their hearts are open. They find time to say 'hello' to people they walk past, they open doors for people all these wonderful things that just makes you feel good. I continue to be incredibly amazed and encouraged as each Christmas comes around at the openness that people have to hearing about Jesus. I'm challenged because I don't believe that we fully utilize the opportunity! Our God is a mighty God. A God of love, forgiveness, Grace and strength. He is also a God who's big of giving us opportunities to share His love and plans for people who don't know Him. It's important that we don't just 'talk' about the love of God this Christmas, but that this be the beginning of us 'showing' people the love of God. Why not give the people close to you, the best present ever?? Did you know that it is completely FREE? Friends, let us 'Be glad in the Lord & rejoice this Christmas' Put CHRIST at the center of all the celebrations and He will shower you with incredible blessings! For our God is a God of love. He loves you all so much and He has fantastic plans for you that you can't even begin to imagine.
I want to close with some Scripture found in Luke's Gospel and it's one of the last things that Mary says to the Angel, Gabriel after she finds out that she will have a Son who will be called the 'Lord most high'
"I am the Lord's servant," - May we strive to be active Servants of our Mighty God. Bless you all!!

Hey! Now that ive properally read it i can comment!
Firstly, talking about mary. Ive been to a few church services and in the last 2 weeks and those and this blog and another talk s about many... Definately Gods Spirit pointing us to something!Be encouraged by Spirit filled brother!
Secondly, i completely agree with you about Christmas giving us more of an opportunity to talk about and show people Gods love!At 614 today i suggested to a man going through a tough time to read through the Christmas story. It was a word from God as im not sure why i said it but it strongly convicted him!
God is good and is moving this Christmas!Pray for salvation!Pray people will accept this awessome gift from our awessome God!
