THE WORLD'S WISH LIST - GOD'S GIFT TO US

Tis the season to be jolly - fa-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la.

God delights to hear "a new song" that praises Him. A new song from our heart lifting Him up for the many blessings He gave us. Through Him we possess all things - good and bad, just and unjust, right and wrong.

WORLD'S WISH LIST: God - I could use a new appearance to my body and face for the holidays, healing in my flesh.

GOD'S GIFT TO US: Psalms 103: "BLESS THE LORD, O my soul, and forget not all HIS benefits: who forgives all our iniquities, who HEALS all our diseases, who redeems our life from destruction, who crowns us with lovingkindness and tender mercies, who satisfies our mouth with good things SO THAT OUR YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE'S.

Praise God! My body, soul & mind are restored to a youthful brilliance to shine on this earth for His glory.


WORLD'S WISH LIST: Lord, I am so depressed around the holidays.

GOD'S GIFT TO US: Isaiah 61:4: Put on the garment of PRAISE for the spirit of heaviness. Psalms 150 - Praise the Lord!, Praise God in His sanctuary, Praise Him in His mighty firmament! Praise him for His mighty acts, Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!, Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet, with the lute and harp, with the timbrel and dance, with stringed instruments and flutes, with loud cymbals, with clashing cymbal. Everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Okay - my solutions to doom and gloom - Glory to God in the Highest, Peace, Good Will Toward Men. PRAISE THE LORD.


MY WISH LIST: I need PEACE in my Life - all I have are complications and strife.

GOD'S GIFT TO US: Isaiah 61: Arise, shine - for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the PRINCE OF PEACE.

Return to your First Love - Repent - Seek His Kingdom - AND ALL THESE THINGS WILL BE ADDED UNTO YOU. HALLELUJAH!


WORLD'S WISH LIST: Lord, I am tired of my "old" possessions - I want a new _______________ (fill in the blank) Luke 6:38 - Give and it shall be given unto you. Deny thyself and follow me.

GOD'S GIFT TO US: This season reminds us not be covetous, greedy or full of ourselves. But our challenge from Christ is to take this one step further and become his disciple by denying ourselves - OUR OLD WAY OF LIFE AND OUR PRIDE - in order to become the "NEW CREATION" in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:17 -Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation - old things have passed away - behold, all things have become NEW.

GOD'S GIFT TO US - JESUS CHRIST

"For He made Him who knows no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM." 2 Corinthians 5:21.


In Christ - Karen
