Today there are presents under Christmas trees
in Newtown that will go unopened. This
will be a Christmas morning that will be filled with tears of pain and sorrow. It will be a day that is filled with
questions anger and doubts. For some it
will also be a day of victory, one of overcoming and the start of much needed
healing. This year so many will have
more to be thoughtful for while others will be facing another day of emptiness
that they should not have to be facing.
There will be an emptiness that will never be filled, a void that is now
nothing more than a cold, dark empty space with the heart and souls of the
parents who have suffered loss.
Today in Newtown CT there are Mother’s tears
which will flow uncontrolled and will go unanswered. There are father’s sorrows that will grip at
their hearts that only the pain of a loss can do. There are arms that will ache for that which
has been too soon removed from them. One
small town in Connecticut like so many across America has a suffered loss of a
great price.
Today across America we must also not forget
the parents and spouses of our fallen military.
Their sorrow is so often overlooked because of the separation and
sacrifice of war. It is still a
sacrifice as they have volunteered to go and defend our country and those on
foreign lands. It is a sadder loss
because of separation, the news of the loss reaches the hearts long before the
closure of a final look.
Today some 2000 years ago God’s son left heavens glory for
a bed of straw of a stable in the little town of Bethlehem. He came down from His eternal home to be born
to die for the sins of mankind. He came
to offer all men something that had never before been offered, a personal
relationship with God. This relationship
offers us Grace for every trial and tribulation that we will face while we are
alive here.
Today the invitation to accept Christ is open and extended
to anyone who has not received Him as their personal savior. His saving grace is available to any and all
who will repent of their sins and call upon Him. He offers and abundance of mercy t all those
who will accept Him.
Today the statement once said still holds true, “Wise men
still seek Him.”
Will you?
Will you show yourself wise and open your heart to
Jesus?
Will you recognize that you are a sinner lost and in need
of His saving grace? - Romans 3:10 & 23
Will you confess that you are a lost sinner in need of His
saving grace? - Romans 6:23
Will you open your heart to him and con fess your need of
His saving grace? - Romans 10:9 & 10
And:
Will you call upon Him and receive Him as your personal
Savior? - Romans 3:23
If you will please let us know, we would love to hear from
you.
