The world will try to shake you at every turn. The enemy will whisper anxiety and doubt into your life. The world will tell you that you are depressed or somehow insignificant. God however has your present covered beloved. The Bible says you are fearfully and wonderfully made. There is no reason to be shaken by this world ever because the gift of God is always at your right hand. That gift is Jesus Christ and through Christ we know that by faith, God has already prepared a future for us:
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
What would you give for absolution from your past, security in your present and a guarantee for your future? How would you like to open that this Christmas; knowing in confidence that it will not fade with time and that no one can steal it from you? That is the indescribable gift that God wants to give all who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you have loved ones that need this gift, share it this season. If you find yourself unsure of your standing with God this Christmas then this is your gift from Him. Open it today by simply asking Him into your heart. There is healing from your past. There is confidence in your present. There is hope for your future. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift indeed!
