THIS CHRISTMAS – THIS DECEMBER – MAKE IT YOUR FAMILY TIME: MAY YOU KNOW THE LOVE OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS I PRAY!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“For this CAUSE I bow my KNEES unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 of whom the whole FAMILY in HEAVEN and EARTH is NAMED . . . 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 may be ABLE to COMPREHEND with ALL saints what is the BREATH, and LENGHT, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH (TRANSCENDS AND SURPASSES) KNOWLEDGE (HUMAN SENSES), THAT YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD . . .<\/i>”\u00a0Ephesians 3:14-21.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CHRISTMAS is a bonding time for families and those we care about. And one gracious and graceful\u00a0great thing\u00a0about Christmas and THIS CHRISTMAS –\u00a0is\u00a0that\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0time to SETTLE SCORES, FORGIVE and JUSTIFY others, EMBRACE and STRENGTHEN relationships. Although in some homes and families,\u00a0it’s\u00a0the opposite today and even now – for them\u00a0it’s\u00a0a time for in-fighting, counting wrongs, blames, creating more confusion, retaliation,\u00a0revenge\u00a0and such like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The various failures in human limitations ought not to be so any more – simply because of the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus that’s poured into us and lavishly given to us and embedded in our hearts for our today, tomorrow and always, by the power of the Holy Spirit that dwells in us and by which we are saved in the grace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s LOVE HAS BEEN POURED OUT IN OUR HEARTS through the Holy Spirit Who has been GIVEN to us . . . 8 But God shows and clearly proves His [own] LOVE for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us<\/i>”\u00a0Romans 5:5, 8\/Amplified Classic Edition<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And this LOVE of God in Christ Jesus\u00a0that’s\u00a0poured in us, SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS our human [Sense] KNOWLEDGE comprehension; and this SURPASSING and TRANSCENDING LOVE of God in Christ Jesus, dwells in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. An indescribable gift of God to all born of Him in Christ Jesus. What an awesome gift\u00a0that’s\u00a0given to us, and that\u00a0dwells\u00a0in us also, in all of God’s redemption, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And\u00a0it’s\u00a0my wish that the consciousness of God’s love will overwhelm you in Christ\u00a0Jesus;\u00a0to enable you live and love far above the limitations of human sense knowledge love,\u00a0that’s\u00a0full of sentiments,\u00a0prejudice\u00a0and dissimulation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be ROOTED DEEP IN LOVE AND FOUNDED SECURELY ON LOVE, 18 That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; 19 [That you may really come] to KNOW [practically, through experience for yourselves] THE LOVE of Christ, which far SURPASSES mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be FILLED [through all your being] unto all the FULLNESS of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]<\/i>”\u00a0Ephesians 3:17-19\/Amplified Classic Edition<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I therefore PRAY as Apostle Paul for you today and tomorrow and even now – that you may KNOW and UNDERSTAND the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus that SURPASSES and\u00a0TRANSCENDS your human concept of five senses KNOWLEDGE through God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus that concerns you,\u00a0your\u00a0family and those you care about. May this love of God captivate you to give the needed leverage and enabling for you to enjoy the FULNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make THIS CHRISTMAS your NEW DAY and NEW BEGINNING of expressing daily the LOVE of GOD in CHRIST JESUS which SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS\u00a0your human five senses KNOWLEDGE\u00a0in all you do to self, family, colleagues and your fellow human beings and\u00a0mankind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS – AND A BLESSED CELEBRATION AND COMMEMORATION OF GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us<\/i>”\u00a0Romans 5:5<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For this CAUSE I bow my KNEES unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 of whom the whole FAMILY in HEAVEN and EARTH is NAMED, 16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 may be ABLE to COMPREHEND with ALL saints what is the BREATH, and LENGHT, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH (TRANSCENDS AND SURPASSES) KNOWLEDGE (HUMAN SENSES), THAT YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD. 20 Now unto him that\u00a0is ABLE to\u00a0DO\u00a0EXCEEDING\u00a0ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL\u00a0all\u00a0that we ASK or THINK, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen<\/i>”\u00a0Ephesians 3:14-21\/Emphasis Mine<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Let LOVE be without hypocrisy. ABHOR what is EVIL. Cling to what is good. 10 Be KINDLY AFFECTIONATE to one another with brotherly LOVE, in\u00a0honor\u00a0giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 DISTRIBUTING to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. 14 BLESS those who PERSECUTE you; BLESS and do not CURSE. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high\u00a0things, but\u00a0associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. 17 REPAY no one EVIL FOR EVIL. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, LIVE PEACEABLY with all men.\u00a019 Beloved,\u00a0do not AVENGE yourselves, but rather GIVE place to WRATH; for it is written, \u201cVENGEANCE IS MINE, I will repay,\u201d says the Lord. 20 Therefore \u201cIF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM; IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; For in so doing you will\u00a0heap\u00a0coals of fire on his head.\u201d 21 Do not be OVERCOME by evil, but overcome evil with good<\/i>”\u00a0Romans 12:9-21<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“If THINE ENEMY be HUNGRY, GIVE him BREAD to EAT; and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him WATER to DRINK: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee<\/i>”\u00a0Proverbs 25:21-22<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision\u00a0availeth\u00a0any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . .13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, BUT BY LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER<\/i>”\u00a0Galatians 5:6, 13<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“When a MAN\u2019S WAYS PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him<\/i>”\u00a0Proverbs 16:7<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that COMETH to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him<\/i>”\u00a0Hebrews 11:6<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
