'Tis the season!

I LOVE Christmas! I especially love it this year...my first year as a true believer again. It is all about Christ, our savior and I could not be happier. After long years of internal debates and exploration of other believes including no beliefs and my personal theories, I came to the point I am today in which I believe that nothing makes sense if God doesn't exist. So I took a hold of the Bible and read it from beginning to almost the end and it gave me a strong sense of reassurance. Especially the Gospel, the story of Christ. The wisdom of the Bible is unreal! I don't even understand how it was understood thousands of years ago. It's heavy! And it's beyond deep! I discover things daily that I wish I had known or paid attention to sooner. Proverbs - Wow! The book of Job - Wow! Matthew - Wow! And there is no end to this list. The Bible never made sense to me piece by piece, but as a whole it is an immense treasure. And here we are, it's Christmas 2010. I think it is the first time that I am in true Christmas spirit.

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. (John 3:16)

Another current favorite:

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

And the most powerful of all quotes:

When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. (John 19:30)

AMEN!
