Greetings Everyone!
We are all on different rungs of the ladder.
With that said AND before we find ourselves having to take every thought captive because we may have judged someone in thought, pause on this first sentence, rather than skim by it. Going forward, apply this daily, show some grace, show some love to your fellow man. We are all on different rungs of the ladder.
Now, consider this scripture and what it means spiritually to a newly redeemed brother or sister, a child or a well seasoned, brother or sister walking as righteously as humanly possible.
Amplified Titus 1:15
To the pure, all things are pure; but to the corrupt and unbelieving, nothing is pure; both their mind and their conscience are corrupted.
With that said, please do not cast judgment on your brothers and sisters In CHRIST JESUS for celebrating Christmas. This is not for us to do. We are all on different rungs of the ladder.
If we wish for them to be enlightened to the truth, pray for them. All in all, allow them the grace to celebrate the birth of their Savior in a righteous, innocent way. The Christmas lights are beautiful. People tend to be a little kinder, open and more generous this time of year. A time of personal reconciliation. Miracles still happen during the holiday season. I will personally attest to that, yearly. If GOD chooses to move on his people during the holidays, who are we to judge?
Trust that the Holy Spirit will enlighten those who belong to GOD.
To those who celebrate the birth of Jesus during December, be blessed and be a beautiful blessing to someone who needs a Savior. Buy their groceries, buy their gas, help them with something, a repair if you are handy, clean someone's house who is physically unable to do so, smile or give a kind word if you are broke. There are so many things we can do for another and it won't cost you a dime. Its not hard to find someone in need or sad. Spread God's goodness.
We are all looking at empty chairs regardless how we celebrate the birth of Christ, passover or a family member's birthday. There is a deep sadness for those who have loved and lost. While we are thrilled for an individual or pet to be in heaven, they are still deeply missed.
I cannot wait to see what GOD will do for those who yield to HIM during this holiday season. Personally, I have witnessed many miracles this time of year. I had a moment yesterday all because of this time of year. Also because the other person is on a different rung of the ladder. Praise GOD!!! HE opened a door which was slammed shut, years ago.
