Love Came Down

Season's Greetings from Brenda to all my friends

As Christmas time approaches this year, we find it is a very busy time. People are always in a hurry it seems to get all the trimmings and festivities in order. Christmas time is also a good time to show love, especially to our family and the little ones.

********************
Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. — 2 Cor. 9:15

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

He … spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all.
  Having yet … one son, his well-beloved, he sent him into the world, to live among sinful ones.

Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! —

  My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No-one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world. -1 John 4, 7-14

In His Love

GUIDED

Guided By A Star

The three Kings followed the Holy Star on their trip to Bethlehem. They came to worship the child Jesus. They followed the star that shone so birght in search of the new born king. All the way to Bethlehem the star led them. There they worshiped God and gave honor the King of kings.

“Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising…” (Matthew 2:2)

“I see him, but not now;
I behold him, but not near;
A star shall come forth from Jacob,
A scepter shall rise from Israel …”
 (Numbers 27:17)

****************

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star.

O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light.
