Opportunity Knocks...Must You Answer?
Be very careful, then, how you live…making the most of every opportunity. Ephesians 5:15-16.

December is the month of opportunities—parties to attend, charitable contributions to make, special worship options, chances to reconnect with family and old friends. Too many good things to crowd into too few days! How can you make the most of these choices? Start by settling your mind on the Christ Child. See his simplicity and humility. Then pray for the wisdom to know when to say “yes” and when to gracefully decline an opportunity

If our greatest need had been information,
God would have sent us an educator.

If our greatest need had been technology,
God would have sent us a scientist.

If our greatest need had been money,
God would have sent us an economist.

If our greatest need had been pleasure,
God would have sent us an entertainer.

But our greatest need was forgiveness,
so God sent us a Saviour.

Jesus never told us to predict a day or hour when He would return, but He did tell us to be aware of the times in which we live and to always be ready for His coming.

What are we to do and how are we to live in the light of all that is taking place around us? Look up! God has a plan and He is working out His plan. The coming of the Lord is drawing near.

Here are four things God wants us to be doing as we await the sound of the trump of God and our gathering together unto Him:
- Guard your heart (Matthew 24: 12)
- Come together with other believers (Hebrews 10:25)
- Make Christ known (Matthew 24:14)
- Be full of hope (Titus 2:13)

Preparing for the holidays is primarily a preparing of the heart.
Because what comes down is love, and the way to receive love isn't to wrap anything up - but to unwrap your heart.

Advent - this is the season of preparing that prepares us for any season of life - because we are preparing our lives for Christ to enter in - which prepares for us the life without end. Is that the ultimate purpose of this life - the preparing for the next life?

Is this why Christmas, Advent, unlike any other time of year, glimmers with a glimpse of heaven - because it's the time of year we're fulfilling our purpose, preparing for Christ and His coming again? The Christmas tree's been lit for weeks, a beacon, a preparing, an anticipation. Why is it easier to make Christmas cookies than to make our hearts ready for Christ?

Is getting ready for Christmas as simple and difficult as simply sitting stilled before the cradle of Christ?
And yet. Love came down and "He came to His own people, and His own people did not receive him." (John 1:11)
Love came down - and his own people did not recognize Him.
Love came down - and His own people did not want what He offered.
The Messiah came down and He wasn't received as the Messiah - and Love comes down and who receives all the moments as His love?

Oh, and I forgot to add in the last message, I spent Christmas Eve and Christmas at Jericho's in Columbus, "bad side of town" hangout, soup kitchen for homeless and street people; we had a nice candlelight service for them; handled out necessities and stuffed animals; I had spent a week baking cookies for the kids, took the dogs and cat who oved the attention (had another stray dog join the cabin crew; a few days before); spent all night with 6 other volunteers working on Christmas dinner for 350 - 3rd year in a row for me; I really had a great time.

My face is shining upon you, beaming out Peace that transcends understanding. You are surrounded by a sea of problems, but you are face to Face with Me, your Peace. As long as you focus on Me, you are safe. If you gaze too long at the myriad problems around you, you will sink under the weight of your burdens. When you start to sink, simply call out "Help me, Jesus!" and I will lift you up.

The closer you live to Me, the safer you are. Fix your eyes on Me, the One who never changes.

Philippians 4:7, Matthew 14:30, Hebrews 12:2

Hey Kaya, do you know of any good support websites that are oriented to untrained Christian homeless/poverty volunteer slobs like me?  Looking to gain ideas and insights, every group I've found have been secular.

There's no love more precious,
more costly, more kingly.
There's no love that's greater-
that's more wonderful, more wild,
more passionate, more powerful-
than the love of Jesus.

Believe, receive, and rejoice forever in the greatest love the world has ever known!

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38, 39 NASB

Father GOD step into our mess today !
Father GOD be our provide !
Father GOD releave us of all debts !
Father GOD make the crooked road straight for us !
Father GOD bless us with HIS peace and joy !
Father GOD cause us to rejoice !
Father GOD wipe away our tears !
Father GOD move our family to be of help to us !
Father GODs hidden hand be seen for us today ! 
Father GODs blessings fall on us for turning to HIM !

''THE HOLY SPIRIT INTERVENE IN TO OUR LIFE AND SEPERATE THE DARKNESS FROM THE LIFE AND ESTABLISH THE GOOD IN OUR LIFE FOR US & OUR FAMILY...NO WEAPONS FORMED AGAINST US SHALL PROSPER BECAUSE... 
JESUS IS OUR LORD''

Heavenly Father, my life is in Your hands.
Yesterday, today, and forever, I am safe and secure in You.
Lord, please help me to know that You are in control.
Help me to believe You are at work in my life right now,
even when I don't see it.
Help me to trust in what I do not see,
when what I see is so painful.
Please help me to know You are taking care of my needs.

Lord, thank You for listening to my cries for help.
Thank You for loving me so much.
Help me to believe You and the promises You have made.
Forgive me when I doubt You and Your love.
I believe, Lord. Forgive me for my unbelief.

The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Deuteronomy 31:8

SELF DECLARATION

I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten.
Joel 2:25 KJV
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
Psalm 51:12 NKJV
"For I will restore health to you
And heal you of your wounds," says the LORD.
Jeremiah 30:17 NKJV

Restore means that God brings back and gives to us again what was once taken from us or lost to us. God assures us that what was lost can be found, what has ended can begin again, and what is no longer seen can be brought back into view. He can restore a broken relationship, lost health, a lost blessing, a broken heart, a former ministry, or a former joy.

Hope all is well with you beloved. Life has gotten so busssy, I am sure you can relate. Thank you for all your sisterly love, I truly appreciate your spirit. I hope all is well with you and your son. How are you?
