With Christmas approaching next week, I am excited. People say that Christmas is not about gifts but they are missing the point. Christmas is about gifts. Jesus Christ is the gift God gave to the world. God gave to his family so that we could have life more abundantly, free from guilt and sin.
I desire to have a heart to give that is not based on a calendar but through the inspiration of my heart. I am reflecting on a verse "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another." I John 4: 10-11

When will I see the promise
When will I see the promise?
I take comfort in knowing that God keeps His promises. It is the waiting for the promise that can be frustrating. You see I know faith is required to endure the waiting process but it is not easy. I am am conditioned to not be patient. I am bombarded with products that are supposed to make my life easier but only make it more confusing. Nothing I do and nothing I have can replace the desire for God's promises. That is why it is frustrating. I trying to work for the promise but God wants to give the promise.
What I am realizing is when I stop looking for the promise I will see the promise. I don't have to work for it but surrender to it. God has great things in store for me and if I keep the faith I will be great. You see as He told Abram I will make you a great nation. I am the promise. When I surrender to what God has spoken over my life. He will make me great, I just follow His lead.
