"I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness."
†How would Father God celebrate the Birth of His Only Son Jesus in His Kingdom? Perhaps we could see a glimpse through a mirror? And Father God tells us He loves to have shining water in His Heavenly Kingdom. Great idea, Father God!

Micah 6:8
He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
“They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, in the day when I make up my treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him."
Revelation 4:3
And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby.
Abba, We ask Your blessings. May Father God turn HIS face to us with compassion this last day of 2018. And we rejoice knowing Father God hears and answers. Thankful for the day and more and better to arrive. Asking God to bless our Loved ones and our Nation Trusting in Him. For All of God's Beloved around the earth. For Jesus blessing upon all His Children as we Pray The Lord's Prayer and ask more Heaven on earth. Thank You, Father God. Bless us with Peace, Love and Joy. Amen in Jesus Christ.

Romans 12:15-16
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
5th Century House Church in Thessaloniki, Greece Osios David
like The Book, Acts of the Apostles
16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
Father God had Jews give up their divergent and separate Worship. God had opened His Word to all the world. As Antioch flourished in The Acts of the Apostles, we find Jewish governing authorities, different races, different nations and different levels of education. Worshiping God as Good. God giving Jesus as Salvation. Tremendous advice for Christmas. A Great Christmas to be this open!
Galatians 3:24-29
24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.
Christian Freedom.
Jews are stoic. Greeks Epicurean. Slaves are victims of tragedy, war, given as Joseph was into slavery by families for need or greed. Free in this context could mean free or it could mean opportunistic seekers. This could include the wealthy who had many slaves. Jesus did not shun women, He spoke with women, helped women and protected women. Jesus has encouraged all souls to be seen as His. Saying what we do to the least of people, we do to Jesus Himself.
The Christmas song speaks of difference in just celebrating Christmas. But this is a great analogy for seeing seasons in life. Seasons we have celebrating Christmas as young or old, not every Christmas is identical. Texas loves to sing Feliz Navidad Prospero año y felicidad! Does the Midwest or New England today - we all have different Christmas traditions!
Nehemiah 8:10
10 Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Psalm 61
4 I shall live forever in your tent; oh, to be safe beneath the shelter of your wings! 5 For you have heard my vows, O God, to praise you every day, and you have given me the blessings you reserve for those who reverence your name.
Psalm 71
For you, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
6 Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;
you are he who took me from my mother's womb.
My praise is continually of you.
7 I have been as a portent to many,
but you are my strong refuge.
8 My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all the day.
9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
forsake me not when my strength is spent.
Psalm 13:5
But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
Psalm 118:24
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
2 Corinthians 1:4
He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others.
When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
Isaiah 40:1 Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all patience and teaching!
Colossians 4:3
As you pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word,
so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ
Abba! You, Our Father, has loved us so much that we are called children of God. And we really are His Children! John, Your Beloved Disciple calls You, "God of Love." Paul calls You, "God of encouragement!" We pray rightly over Christmas! For us all! Please You Bless us and Keep us, Make Your Face Joyfully Shine upon us, Be Gracious to us! May we Lift up Your Face to Smile upon us! Cover us in Your Peace, the Very Peace of You, Our God, Knowing Your Willing Plan for a Hope and Future! To place the Name of Jesus in our souls. Jesus before us, Jesus behind us, Jesus Living Water pouring and flowing surround us and those we Love. The Blessing of Jesus upon us. For all the Times You've Divinely Helped Thank You! Alleluia and Amen in Jesus Christ!
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?
Matthew 19:26
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Jeremiah 32:17
Oh, Lord GOD! You have made the heavens and earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!
Psalm 65:2
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
If Christmas is stressful, perhaps we should instead, fight all our battles with Prayer in Jesus Christ with Father God. And allow God to be God. Giving thanks for our circumstances. God calls the stars by name. God has Given us Jesus' Name to Pray to Him with confidence. If we allow God used all of the Heavens to call the Stars by Name - then in the Name of Jesus - we will ask Father God and allow His Good Will and our faith the room to do His Plans giving us a Hope and a Future.
And as the father brought his son to Jesus for healing, we will Let God's Mercy, His Willing Mercy do more than we can ask or imagine.
Christmas and Answered Prayer
Zechariah's Prayer
Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly. All the assembled worshipers were praying outside. The angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. 14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, 15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord."
Elizabeth Prayed
"As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
Mary Prayed Uniquely to God, speaking to His Messenger Gabriel and through His Word
For no word from God will ever fail. 38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” 46 And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48 for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, 49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. Mary had the direction of God she had asked and prayed about. Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
Joseph Prayed in his thoughts
Joseph - considered - these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear ... giving Joseph all the Guidance Joseph did pray for.
Joseph dreamed God answered him to Go to Egypt and dreamed for the 3rd time to withdraw from Jerusalem and live in the district of Galilee.
The Wise Men Prayed
And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. 11 And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. 12 And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.
Simeon Prayed
Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: 29 “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss your servant in peace. 30 For my eyes have seen your salvation, 31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: 32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.”
Anna Prayed
Anna, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37 and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. 38 Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.
Acts 1
10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
2 Corinthians 1:20
For all the promises of God are "Yes" in Christ.
And so through Him,
our "Amen" is spoken to the glory of God.
Abba, Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King! Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled." Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With the angelic host proclaim, Christ, by highest heaven adored: Christ, the everlasting Lord Abba, we would proclaim Your Love this Christmas. The Wonder of God's Birth announced so Vividly, the stones would cry out to Proclaim Jesus if the earth of the Lord's fullness did not. Let Love cover us and Bless us. Let the Name of Jesus and His Love cover and Bless the ones we Love. And all the earth will know the fullness of Your Love. And our children's children will see the Wondrous Acts of God. Glory to You, in the Name of Jesus, we ask for Love, Peace and Joy. In Jesus Christ. Amen.

Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say.
The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation.
The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
