I AM Leaving You With A Gift – 

Peace Of Mind And Heart.

And The Peace I Give Is A Gift The World Cannot Give.

Scripture

John 14

27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.

    I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."  John 16:33

     For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. And the government will rest on his shoulders. These will be his royal titles: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 

    Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 

 If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 

Observation

Do you have the gift of peace this Christmas? You won’t find it at any department store or at any store online either! In fact the Christmas Season can be so frantic and stressful that we can easily forget all about its true meaning; we can totally miss the true celebration – Jesus – The Gift of Christmas!

He is the Gift of Christmas! He came to give. He came to give His life as a gift. The gift is Eternal Life paid in full by His death on the cross for us.

Have you received the gift of Christmas? Do you have Eternal Life? Do you have the peace that this passage is talking about?

Do you know the Prince of Peace?  

Application

Eternal life is one gift that is expected to be re-gifted! I will look for ways to share this wonderful gift! How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, today our family celebrates Christmas. We give gifts to our kids and are grandkids this afternoon. Help us make it perfectly clear to our children and our grandchildren what the true meaning of Christmas really is. 

For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. And the government will rest on his shoulders. These will be his royal titles: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 

Open the eyes of our children and our grandchildren to the Wonder of Christmas – His Name is Jesus!
