“Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly. But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which translated means, “God with us.” And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.”
Matthew 1:18-25 NASB1995
“Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.””
Luke 10:38-42 NASB1995
It’s Not about Us, it’s All about God!
Can I get an Amen?
You are not alone. We all find this life difficult at times, if we are honest about it. What have you tried to do about it.? Ignore it, self medicate, buy things that you think will make you happy, look to your kids to find happiness, or our spouse?
Whether you are a Christian, or have never thought about being one, the answer is found in Jesus.
When we honestly look at ourselves, we find that we don’t measure up, especially if we Match up to what the law of God says. That is the bad news, but the god news is this. God, who created, and loves us, knew we would struggle, yet not only gave his perfect son to take our place as an offering, for our misguided attempts to try and do what only Jesus could, but he gave his spirit to live in us and through us for all who believe! This is very good news, and full of Gods Grace and Mercy, to help us through our struggles. He gave us his word (the Bible, to guide us and the Church, to help us to grow and tell others about Jesus.
We, are made in his image, and even though we fail at times, God Loves us and forgives, because of the work of Jesus on the cross and his resurrection, and our faith in believing this.
Aren’t you glad we have such an amazing God?
LISTEN TO THE SONGS BELOW, AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL BE ENCOURAGED AS I ALWAYS AM.
God Bless you.
