What makes Christmas Wonderful? Its filled with wonderful traditions and nostalgia. There are Christmas parties, gift giving, decorations and family get togethers.

Whether we know it or not, each one of us follows something consciously or unconsciously. We spend our lives pursuing meaning or hope somewhere. What do we do when we’re confronted with our lack of choosing Jesus? Will we walk away or drop what we have or choose to make Jesus our everything?De către Andres Ayala & Paul Huebner

We have a choice to make. We can either rely on our own merit and good works to compel Jesus to act on our behalf, answer our prayers, or do something for us as if we are worthy or deserve it.

It is unbelievably freeing when we understand the truth that everything we have comes from God. It allows us not to worry as much about material things and trust that God is with us and for us.
