The Most Wonderful Gift

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." ~ John 3:16

I look forward to the day Christmas comes as it marks the celebration of the most wonderful gift that God gave to the world. Jesus Christ came to Earth like any human being would through normal conception. He lived like a human. He breathed like a human. He loved like a human. He spoke like a human. He walked like a human. He hurt like a human. He was all human, but at the same time, He was all divine because He was spiritually and physically the Son of God. A man both connected to Heaven and to Earth, linked between God and mankind. Without Him, I know there'd be no bridge that can lead to redemption from our worldly sins; or eternal life with God in the heavens.

Finding Positivity In Whatever We Find

As an adult facing harder times than a youth or a child could, how do I keep my spirits up when I'm faced with loneliness, depression or isolation stemming from anything? That is an excellent question because it takes so much to answer it or to uplift ourselves during our adult years. While being an adult offers much independence & wisdom, it also comes with much responsibility and darkness, and those can be more challenging than we imagine. While you were a kid, it was easy to dream of growing up because grown-ups have cell phones, drive cars, wear adult-sized clothes or makeup, or experience interesting things our bodies go through. But when you reach adulthood, you learn the hard way that it's not exactly what you imagined. While it grants some liberation, it doesn't come free of duties, obligations or challenges we never thought possible when we were kids. We have to pay bills, buy groceries, make even the toughest decisions we never wanted to. This is why I advise

She Held Him In Her Arms

During a time of trouble in Jerusalem, News had reached to Mary Who would become a mother of a special child. Though she had known of this child’s coming, She had not expected it to happen that day. Nevertheless, she braced herself for what was yet to come. When she saw her Son, she shed her tears of love. When He was placed in her arms, she cleaned Him up. To keep Him warm, she wrapped her Son up in clothes & blankets. After she did, she laid Him to rest. And then she planted a kiss on Him. When He first spoke, she rose with joy. When He first walked, she embraced Him. When He was hungry, she made him food And He would eat with joy. When He was thirsty, she brought him water And He would drink with satisfaction. Then it came time for Him to do His Father’s work. When He cried, she wiped His tears. Then she whispered in His ear, “You are my little prince always.” After she said that, He went about His Father’s work.

Forgiveness: A City of True Happiness

Image
Revenge is neither golden nor prosperous. It leads to nowhere except to the deepest depths of the darkness. The only places it leads you to are hate, sorrow, bitterness, contention and dread, all of which give nothing but pain. Forgiveness is a city of peace, renewal, joy and mercy, all of which provide true happiness. It is a landmark that stands out in the light to signal where you are so you can discover how far you've come in your journey to true healing. It never forgets or pardons the pain you've been through because of others or yourself. Rather, it takes in all of the broken pieces of your soul with compassion and care, and transforms them all into an improved molding of yourself that others need to see. Yourself included.
