Joel 2:12 "Even now," declares the Lord, " return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning."
Joel 2:32 "And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." I love the focus on Jesus at Christmas time. I love the old hymns and tradition carols. I love extra advent services and singing in the choir. I love the extra emphasis on connecting with the people I love. Christmas time reminds me to live a life for Jesus. It's easy to get distracted with things that are meaningless at this time of year or anytime. Let’s try to stay focused the true meaning of the season. I remember one Christmas I was so embarrassed, because I was so poor I didn’t have money to buy presents or bring food. I didn’t plan to go home. I mustered up the courage to walk in the door empty handed. That was one of my best Christmas memories of love. I enjoyed the love of my family and the love of Jesus and of course an amazing Christmas Eve service. Joel 2:13 “Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for He is compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, He relents from sending calamity.” Let’s have a Jesus Christmas season!!! Be the love of Jesus!!! Let His love be the biggest present you give and receive!!
