A Perfect Gift For Christmas

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Christmas is here again and people are wondering what to shop for considering the supply chain issues and inflation. It will interest you to know that people do this as a normal yearly routine so that their family and friends would be okay with them. You hear words like “I need to get this for my kids”, “I have to order for my neighbour”, “I have to put this card in the post” etc. They do these as a seasonal gesture.

However, Christmas is about Jesus Christ. The true representation of God’s Love for the world. John 3:16 says that “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son” (TLB). Baby Jesus was God’s love for you and I.

Christmas is more transformational in nature than transactional. It shouldn’t be about you give me this, and I give you that. Christmas is about the expression of God’s love to you, and how you demonstrate this love to the next person.

In effect, a perfect gift you can give this christmas is LOVE. Let genuine Love drives you in what you do. Love has many things to offer. For instance, Love gives. Love forgives. Love cares. Love tolerates. Love understands. Love unites. Love shares. etc. So don’t just focus on gifts and food for your family but reach out to those who hurt you most in the year and let them know that you have forgiven them. Walk around the streets and do good to the homeless. Reach out to comfort those who are in pain because they lost someone or something dearer to their heart. You can be the Jesus Christ God is sending into someone’s world to bring joy, peace, and prosperity.

Merry Christmas from Uplifting Christ. God bless you as you take His Love to the World.

Let Love Win

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.

(Proverbs 17:9, NLT)

Jesus said that “your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” (John 13:35, NLT). One way of showing love (that seems simple yet complicated) is forgiving people’s fault, especially those who hurt you on purpose.

It might appear to be difficult but when you consider what God did through Jesus Christ, in that He made allowances for your faults before you made them, you can find a place in your heart to forgive.

Search your heart today and make a determination to let Love prosper. Forgive and your heavenly Father will also forgive your wrongs. Both ways show that Love wins.

The Father of Love

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Show love“For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He[even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:16, AMP) Emphasis added

Everybody talks about LOVE on Valentine’s day. Some see it as a day to demonstrate their love to family and friends, whiles other see as a day to corrupt their bodies. Genuine love cares about the soul because there is life after death and a great day for judgement.

God loved us so much that He cared for our eternal well being. That is He gave His only Son for mankind. He did that to show us that He can freely give us any other thing because nothing can be compared to the blood of Jesus.

Since he did not spare even his own Son for us but gave him up for us all, won’t he also surely give us everything else? (Romans 8:32, TLB)

As the world celebrates Valentine’s day, let us seize the moment to tell the world about God’s love for mankind, and how He is ready to supply every need if we believe in Jesus Christ. Let us also show love (in substance) especially to those in need and show the world that we represent love.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.( John 15:13, KJV)

love keeps no record of wrongs

And if anyone has offended/wronged/sinned against you, let today be the day you forgive because God forgave you and brought you to Himself. Pick the phone and call or send message. Show some love today
