Holidays With Jesus: ChristmasSample

Merry Christmas! 

The birthday of our dear Lord Jesus has arrived!

Today is a day for absolute celebration! The King of all Kings should be given our utmost love, honor, praise, worship, and adoration! 

With our precious Lord Jesus being born on Christmas, that one precious holy night, it paved a way for us to have the ability to be born again.

To be born again into New Life – all because of our Lord’s own birth and great love for us – what a beautiful, priceless, exquisite treasure!

Today, this Christmas Day, seek to make the very heart of Jesus smile! 

Seek to spend as much time as possible with Jesus throughout today...have a continual conversation in your heart with Him. Extravagantly love Jesus, and in His honor, love and be extra kind to everyone you see today! Offer to help and serve your loved ones without being asked. Forgive everyone as Jesus has forgiven you. Seek out His peace today, and be a peacemaker with your spouse, children, family members and friends. Think of ways you can bring an absolute lavish amount of joy to Jesus’ heart today! Extravagantly love Him and all of the family and friends He has blessed you with. Wrap yourself up in Jesus’ great love by reading His Word. Sing songs of heartfelt praise, honor, and adoration to our King! 

What a miracle today truly is! May we truly seek to make Jesus’ birthday so extravagantly special to Him!

And may we never forget — and always be in awestruck wonder of — that beautiful, holy, silent Night!

Prayer: “Dearest Most Precious Lord Jesus, oh how we love You! Happy Birthday!!! We thank You with our deepest gratitude for the miracle of Christmas Day!! We pray we will bring joy, love, and a smile to Your heart today as we celebrate Your birth! Lord, there just aren’t enough words – or big enough words – to describe our love, debt, and gratitude to You!! Thank You for lavishly loving us, providing for us, caring for us, and working all things together for good – for Your glory – in our lives! Lord, we celebrate You and Your amazing love, life, and birthday today!! Give us the grace to please you and bring You outstanding joy! We love and adore You...and sincerely thank You...for ALL things and every great gift from You  — with You being our greatest Gift!! Happy, Happy Birthday!! In Your magnificent, holy, most marvelous name we pray, Amen!”

Activity: Love, thank, and adore Jesus with all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength today! Bring a smile to His heart!! Sing Happy Birthday to Him! And end Christmas Day by enjoying and experiencing Jesus by the Christmas tree!
