His present to me this christmas

" the gift of god is eternal life in christ jesus" ( roman 6)

yes even as christmas approaches, let me remind myself of god's xmas present to me.

thank you god that i have eternal life in christ jesus. teach me dear lord to live my life here on earth with this eternal perspective in mind.

let the things of this earth grow dim and let my heart be filled with joy even as i know that forever i am in jesus hand.

if i have eternal life, then i should live in a way that builds my eternal home. what is it?

know the word of god
know god
save the soul of men
disciple the next generation to know god
take things in this world "lightly", realising that these are temporal

dear god teach me to live with the eternal perspective

may josef deborah and matthias know and love you . keep these children for yourself and never let them go. hold them so that they may live out the destiny you have for each of them.

use me to reach out to the younger generation. let the victories come and let your light shine.

amen
