EVERYDAY CAN BE CHRISTMAS
Brother James, OIC
Galatians4:19-23
My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
There are many people that get sad this time of year, depressed. Some like me who are single may have the thought that if they had someone in their lives their happiness would be complete. Others are married or have close friends yet for even them there is an emptiness. Let me share something with you. Have you ever seen a woman who glowed in her pregnancy that wanted the life within her to be born, that everyday was a joy filled day of earnest expectation? Well we that are Christians are that woman. There is a Presence yearning to be birthed within and IF we would focus on that life the Joy would be there, the glow would be evident. Sadly many are basing their happiness on people, places or things and when they get them the elusive butterfly of satisfaction escapes and is again replaced with a sadness and emptiness. But I AM here to tell you that JOY can be yours as you allow the Birthing of Christ within, as Gods Anointing grows within you His Spirit infills you with Truth and Gods Divine Nature - His Life and all the Good Fruit that comes with it.
This process is called Being Born Again and its a Birth within that on our parts must be nurtured until fruition. How is this done? Through Joy. And how is Joy produced? By remaining in Gods Presence.
Psalm 16:11
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
And it is in Gods Presence wherein then your hearts desires will be granted to you.
So this Christmas look upwards for your redemption draweth nigh and know that every day can be Christmas IF you will give yourself to the life that is birthing and growing within.
