Wrapped In Grace

Acts 10:34-35 Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God goes not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right."

This message is the one we are called to deliver.  God loves all people and Jesus is the proof.  Jesus was sent to the world, not just to a certain group of people.  He is Lord and we are called to share Him and His message.  On Christmas, it is easy to get wrapped up, no pun intended, in all of the family traditions we are a part of.  These are wonderful things to celebrate.  We have several in our family too. This year though, I want to be sure I share Jesus outside of my family.  I want to help others have the life of freedom that I have received through Jesus.  I want His grace to wrap them up and touch their hearts so deeply that they are never the same.  This is what I have learned over the last year.  God is with me at all times, especially in my darkest moments, and He gives me grace, peace, and love to move forward.  I want all people to have this gift this Christmas.  May you enjoy your traditions today and meet the One who loved you so much that He gave His only Son, so that you might believe in Him ,and not die but have life everlasting.  To God be the glory!
