12/22/20 STEPS TO A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

I realize some folks who need to see this post will skip it. But ignoring the obvious problems in our lives does not solve those problems. This is not a long post, but it could be the one that changes you for the rest of your life.

We should be living daily in God's will, following the Holy Spirit, denying self, serving other people, demonstrating the fruit and graces of the Spirit of God in every situation.

If you notice that you have slipped your spiritual moorings, cry out to Christ, reconnect through confession, repentance, faith, obedience, self denial, and following Jesus fully.

Our life is but a vapor. We were not created to fill a personal wish list or follow vain hopes and dreams. We were created for the great and glorious call of walking with Christ, in newness of life. Do not continue in the way of spiritual failure.

If you don't live the life of Christ before your watching and needy loved ones, then who will?

If you don't minister to (serve) your own loved ones, then who will?

If you don't lead your family into a faithful walk with Christ, who will?

Failures and regrets are hard to live with.

When we turn or return to God, He is able to give us victory and hope.

If we refuse to seek the Lord while we can, our failures become irreversible. We can move past to point of no return.
