As I am preparing to celebrate this Christmas with my family & friends, I am reminded of a day a few years back. While singing during the worship portion of our church service, in my mind I kept hearing a particular phrase over & over in my head. As I continued singing, it just kept repeating, to the point where I was compelled to go forth in church & share it with the congregation. I knew that this had to be from God, because I would never do something like this on my own accord.
Today as we celebrate the birth of our King, I'd like to share that Word from the Lord with you.
"Hear ye o children of the Lord, take these gifts that I have given you, untie the strings that bind them. Take them out, for they are not meant for you alone. Share them with others, so that they too may know the wonders of My love."
To this day I am not certain why God chose me for this Word from Him, but I do know that when we are open to Him & Believe...He will use us. I am grateful that on that particular day, my heart was open..and He spoke to me.
We have all been blessed with many different gifts & talents, I've witnessed that here amongst my blogging friends. What ever our gifts are, we must know that they are not meant for us to use solely for ourselves. We've been blessed with gifts to use to bless others & show His love to those who need Him. Choose this day to share God's greatest Gift with others...His Son, Jesus!
It is with a joyful heart that I celebrate this Christmas!....O come, O come Emmanuel!
God is indeed with us!!
Merry Christmas my friends, You have all been a blessing to me this past year!
Much Love,
~Tammy~
