Rebirth

The birth of Jesus gives us all an opportunity to rededicate our love to God,

Jesus

Titus 3:5-6New International Version (NIV)
⁵ he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, ⁶ whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior,

Each year when we celebrate Jesus Christ birthday
it is the perfect time for all of us to recheck our own thoughts for the coming year.  Over the past year we can be overwhelm by many ever day issues. Like a battery our mind and soul may need to be recharge also known as a rebirth. That desire is directed by the Holy Spirit.

Jamaliah

 In 2004, two of Jamaliah's children were swept away during the tsunami into the Indian Ocean . In Indonesia they call this a rebirth
that occurred in a dream. After 10yrs of not knowing Jamaliah found her kids.  This is truly a gift from God.

During the Christmas season let someone know this is a great time for a rebirth. Great random act of kindness.   Something about the name Jesus, he is the reason for the season. Be a Blessing and give a Blessing of information.

God's trying to tell you something

Malachi 3:7-10New International Version (NIV)

⁷ Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.
“But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’
⁸ “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.
“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’


“In tithes and offerings. ⁹ You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. ¹⁰ Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.


 It's no coincidence God ends the last book of the Old Testament with Malachi. Yesterday  like today everyone is not receptive of God's message. God said test me and I will open the floodgates of Heaven.  That sounds good to me.  You don't have to tell me twice. As a random act of kindness
let someone know the location of their treasure. Be a Blessing give a Blessing !

Message

Proverbs 25:13New International Version (NIV)

¹³ Like a snow-cooled drink at harvest time
    is a trustworthy messenger to the one who sends him;  he refreshes the spirit of his master.

Thru out the old testament God sent many messengers to deliver his message.

ISIS interviewer returns with dark message

Jürgen Todenhöfer, the first Western writer to be granted access to ISIS territories, returned home with a chilling warning.

Today like in  the Old Testament the choices we make are very important.  Following God is a no brainer bad verses good, darkness verses light.  As a random act of kindness display positive leadership skills with your choices.  Be a Blessing display a Blessing as a messenger of Faith.

Knowing or Set Up

Judges 16:17-20New International Version (NIV)

¹⁷ So he told her everything. “No razor has ever been used on my head,” he said, “because I have been a Nazirite dedicated to God from my mother’s womb. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as any other man.”
¹⁸ When Delilah saw that he had told her everything, she sent word to the rulers of the Philistines, “Come back once more; he has told me everything.” So the rulers of the Philistines returned with the silver in their hands. ¹⁹ After putting him to sleep on her lap, she called for someone to shave off the seven braids of his hair, and so began to subdue him.^[a] And his strength left him.
²⁰ Then she called, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!”
He awoke from his sleep and thought, “I’ll go out as before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had left him
 
God has already given us the directions for good living.  Sometimes we tend to think we have a better way like Samson. God told him not to cut his hair.  Enemies know how to attack at our lowest points. In New York it began with a choke hold . Two wrongs don't make a right.

   Don't let a third party cloud or influence your thinking.  The best defense is a good offense of the
Holy Spirit.  As a random act of kindness let someone know the right way. Knowing can change the direction of someone's life.

Revenge was not the answer for the shooting death of two police officers or Samson.

Jesus is the reason for the season

It's a Boy!

Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son

¹⁸ This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about^[a]: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. ¹⁹ Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet^[b] did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.  ²⁰ But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him

Matthew 1:25-25New International Version (NIV)
²⁵ But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

After 14 generations God had in mind the perfect plan to deliver his message. He pick a virgin
maiden to bore his child.  Man could not mess this one up.  Today like in the old testament Men and Women alike  tend to mess things up. Can you imagine the thoughts Joseph had before the Angel appeared. He paused before he said I do to Mary but in the end what wonderful bundle of Joy!

Three Wise Men

Proverbs 14:20-21New International Version (NIV)

²⁰ The poor are shunned even by their neighbors,
    but the rich have many friends.

²¹ It is a sin to despise one’s neighbor,
    but blessed is the one who is kind to the needy.

God intended for each chapter of the Bible to have Purpose.  The chapter of Proverbs is a part of the Wisdom literature of the Old Testament .  In this book are short common sense and sound advice that relates to everyday living. Wisdom gives us the ability to make great choices in life.

Imagination

Deuteronomy 29:19New International Version (NIV)
¹⁹ When such a person hears the words of this oath and they invoke a blessing on themselves, thinking, “I will be safe, even though I persist in going my own way,” they will bring disaster on the watered land as well as the dry.

  Imagination: the faculty of imagining, or of forming mental images or concepts of what is not actually present to the senses. 

Bella Weems

One of the greatest gifts God gave us is our imagination.  When our thoughts are positive.  The sky is the limit.

Bella Weems cofounded Origami Owl at age 14. It's set to make $250 million this year. Her goal was to buy a used car.  Wow!

Picture this Peace around the world. We could have that with Images of Peace in everyone's thoughts. Our childlike thoughts are awesome.

As a random act of kindness let someone young know anything is possible.  One of my favorite affirmations is " I can do all things thru Christ that strengthens me" Be a Blessing and showcase your Faith in imagining.  Remember we are all Predestine by God for greatness .
