Opening up the Greatest Gift

Christmas excitement is all through the air; people are scampering everywhere; bidding of well wishes to one and all; no matter how young, no matter how old, or how small. The spirit of Christmas makes this season the most wonderful time of the year! I really enjoyed being in the midst of today's crowd as songs were sang and I was able to share in Christmas tidings with joyful sounds all around. The beauty of Christmas is so majestic with trees and streets all aglow and festive decorations surrounding us more and more. Such a sweet sense of peace fills the earth with good will toward men. What a joyful and blessed goal is noted, to have Peace on earth with good will toward ALL men! 
The birth of Christ Jesus was to bring peace into a troubled world and shine forth God's glorious light into a darkened world filled with turmoil, pain and distress! The blessed Hope of freedom is through Christ the Lord! John 10:10 tells us that Jesus came that we might have life and have it More Abundantly. Luke 4:19 states He came to heal the broken hearted, preach deliverance to the captives, give sight to the blind, and deliver All that are bruised and hurt. A new day was dawning with the birth of God's Son, Jesus!. What greater Hope can there be than Divine Deliverance through the Greatest Gift of all time: the Free Gift of Salvation through our Savior Jesus, the Son of God  
Just knowing that God gave Himself to us in the birth of His Son, to ease our suffering and pain and to free us from all sin and bondage brings a warmth to my very soul! Can you not feel His Love deep within; His Light shining in the darkness penetrating the very core of your being? Have you not opened up your Christmas Gift and checked it out yet; Really checked it out? Have you seen Who this gift is and what He can do in your life? For your world? Bringing joy and peace beyond measure; Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior of all mankind delivers Hope that lasts forevermore! 
He came into the world and walked along side so many and yet they never truly realized Who He was. Even today He continues to walk along side us, waiting for us to realize Who He is and the gift He brings for each of us. We can only receive this gift when we acknowledge Him and the works He has already accomplished in full, to set us free that guides us into an abundant life in Him! What a Wonderful Blessed Christmas Gift He Is; What a Gift He is to Behold!
I pray that this Christmas we can begin to realize that it's not in the sharing of bought presents, nor the wrapping that encloses those gifts; it's not in the Christmas cards we send, nor the biggest and best Christmas Light Display we can present. But It's all about Jesus coming down from Heaven and His gift extended to us of Eternal Salvation through Him that makes Christmas the best time of the year! As we continue enjoying the Spirit of Christmas, let's continue its spirit through the year by sharing love, sharing hope, sharing joy and peace to those around us, as we reach out in Love as the Spirit leads. 
Let's have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year celebrating Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior, to one and all! After all Jesus is the reason; the only reason for the season! Enjoy this beautiful season of Love knowing that God loves you and so do I~
