John 3:16-17\u00a0<\/b>–\u00a0For God so loved\u00a0the world that he gave\u00a0his one and only Son,\u00a0that whoever believes\u00a0in him shall not perish but have eternal life.\u00a017\u00a0For God did not send his Son into the world\u00a0to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.<\/i><\/p>\n
This year we will receive gifts from others.\u00a0 We will, with gratitude open them and express our gratitude.\u00a0 After all, the gifts are nice, but what is most important is the gift giver. \u00a0It would be shameful to be ungrateful and unthankful. \u00a0In one case the gift giver and the gift carry equal value for all of us. \u201cFor God so loved\u00a0the world that he gave\u00a0his one and only Son,\u00a0that whoever believes\u00a0in him shall not perish but have eternal life.\u00a017\u00a0For God did not send his Son into the world\u00a0to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.<\/i>\u201d (John 3:16-17<\/b>)\u00a0 God gave us His very best to bless us beyond any other blessing.\u00a0 Jesus, in His limitless mind gazed into the eyes of all persons ever born.\u00a0 Overflowing with love for us He said to the Father \u201cI will do it.\u201d\u00a0 I pray that all who read this will with fullness of gratitude accept the gift of God to us and receive the blessed eternal life with Him that He gave to us through Jesus.\u00a0 We accept gifts from each other, why would we shove away the precious gift of God and refuse what He has so paid so heavily to give.\u00a0 Merry Christmas!\u00a0 May you all know and walk in the endless love He has for us.\u00a0 Praise God!<\/p>\n

Micah 6:8<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0He has shown You, O man, what\u00a0is\u00a0good; And what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of You but to do justly, to love mercy, And to walk humbly with Your God<\/i>.<\/p>\n
