John 15:1-8
"I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. REMAIN IN ME, AS I ALSO IN YOU. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; APART from Me you can do NOTHING. If you do not remain in Me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to My Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples."
"JESUS HAS TO BE AT THE CENTER OF YOUR HEART OR YOU WILL MISS THE MARK EVERY TIME!"
No matter how many good deeds you do!
If Jesus is not is the midst, it will eventually fail to bare lasting fruit!
The purpose of good deeds is to bring God glory!
Therefore in this new Christmas Season, as you give gifts & go out of your way to do things you normally wouldn't, I would just like to encourage you to:
"KEEP JESUS AT THE CENTER OF YOUR HEART!"
Don't just give a gift or perform a good deed to make someone feel better or appreciated.
Allow God to use that opportunity to genuinely express the "LOVE OF GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!"
Be intentional with sharing the Gospel this Christmas Season!
After all, Jesus is the reason we celebrate Christmas, isn't He?
This season, let the Holy Spirit lead you & be extra sensitive to His stirring!
Because it can be the crucial moment in a person's life when they turn from sin & accept Jesus into their heart's, receiving eternal life!
"KEEP JESUS AT THE CENTER OF YOUR HEART!"
