I'll Be Home For Christmas

Oh my goodness!  9 days!

1 Peter 3:18 "Christ suffered for our sins once and for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God He suffered physical death, but he was raise to life in the spirit."

It was on Christmas night that Gods plan to have a family again was finaly started. When Jesus was born I'm  sure the fathers heart must have burst with joy knowing that in just a few years (well 33) that his family would be together again. As I started thinking about how the father must have felt to know that he could be with his kids again….it brings me to tears. His heart ached to be near his kids. And now it was happening.

It's like the story of the prodigal son. The young son left, he made a choice to leave his father, just like Adam and eve did. But the Fathers never gave up hope because he loved his family so deeply.

God wanted a family for Christmas. Wow ok still crying here. He wanted you in his family. He didn't want extra servants. He has a ton of those.   He wanted a family.

If you aren't apart of Gods family then now is the perfect time. It's crazy how the father welcomes us back. He doesn’t care what we have done, or how long we have been gone. He is ready for you with open arms and the greatest gift…his son…and a place in his eternal family.

If you aren't in God family all you have to do is make a dission to do so. Invite God into every part of your life. Invite his preacence and peace to wash over you.

It's so wonderful….now you can say "I'll be home for Christmas" and it wont just be in your dreams…it's a reality that you can walk it.

Much love my family!
