Merry Christmas. Welcome to total love and forgiveness. It was not only a child born on this day but a complete package of total, unending love. As you celebrate Jesus’s birthday, receive His gift of love in all its fullness: no shame, no regrets, just total love. Be merry. Have a day of Joy unspeakable and full of Glory.

According to the Bible, Jesus is love. He is our Savior, who came to Earth to show us how much He loved us. He walked and talked with sinners, teaching and coaching them on how they should live. In laying down His life for us, He taught us everything we need to know about true love. Love is self-sacrificing, generous, and unending, not a temporary feeling or attraction. Because of God’s love for the world, we know love is also undeserving and often unreciprocated.

The Bible verse that conveys the message “Jesus loves you” is found in John 15:  9: “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.”

John 3:  16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

KNOW THAT AS THE FATHER LOVED HIS SON, AND THE SON LOVED THE FATHER, I ALSO LOVE AND APPRECIATE EACH ONE OF YOU, NOT ONLY ON THIS WONDERFUL DAY BUT EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR!
