It’s not the magic of the season –it’s the miracle from God! It’s peace from God and Joy in the Lord! It’s Wisdom, Understanding, and Discernment; family, friends and more! These gifts from God can’t be bought –but can be ignored and given away!

 

Sometimes it is hard to see past the busyness of the season to see all the grandness in the simplicity of God’s love.

 

Look up and hold onto your faith!

Unconditional of the circumstances —

Take time to look and notice how special you are to God; and then thank Him for some of the miracles that you can see in His Creation! Yes, (if we look), if we seek –we will find! Remember, that He made all of Creation out of love for you!

Together, we both can say, “me!” This is a great Love from God for you and me!

And, remember to thank God for Jesus … Thank Jesus too! He took it personal, because of God’s for you … and yes, I can even say, for me!

So this is Christmastime! But, shouldn’t this be every day of the year? A time of the year set aside to celebrate God’s “indescribable gift” (2 Corinthians 9:15)! A time of the year, which should be every day of the year –that the primary meaning of Christmas should shine a glory light of Christ in this gloomy man-made world that man & evil has made God’s goodness appear in His wonderful Creation!

The Truth of Christmas should plunge you into a greater hope for this New Year in your life –by remembering the way Jesus was born into this world for you–God has sacrificed for us from birth! How much more can we expect?

 

Peace, Joy, Assurance, Promises that Jesus Died to Consecrate for us –and yes there is more, but the expectation level out of peace is where the world gets lost! The word is content in the love of God –and this is where the fullness of Christ is found!

 

So every day is Christmas in my heart, because of what Christmas means to me! Jesus means God Saves, while Immanuel means “God is with us! The message of Christmas is that through Christ, God saves us from sin and death and come to be with us –unconditionally of our circumstances!

 

Jesus has prepared many rooms for us in Heaven –Can we make room for God in our busy lives?

 

Now, I ask you today, what is the worst thing you are going through? Can you bless God and thank Him for you hope?

 

Merry Christmas! Jesus loves you and we really can trust God to follow Jesus.

Meet Karen: Hi, I am blessed, by God's good grace and because I know Jesus, I am blessed. I choose to be blessed, because I have a choice set before me and I refuse to look down. I trust God and I know and believe in the love God has for us. I have overcome difficulties; and I am blessed by the grace of God alone. If I have written about it, then I have felt the pain of it in some way, and to some degree. Did you know that Jesus has felt your pain? This is why I write. By God's grace I can identify; and tell you honestly, yes there is hope in anything and everything that you are facing today! Jesus is our Hope! He is the Truth, the Way and the Life. I am married a wonderful man, Robert Rowe; I love my husband and he loves me; and we have been married for 28 years. Together, we have been blessed with a wonderful daughter, named Amanda who is college now; and a wonderful son, named Daniel who is growing up well and soon to graduate elementary school. We work together and by God's grace we run our own business called PSI. We have a pastor over our ministry and over our business and also we depend on him for advise in our family. We have 2 dogs, 4 horses, 2 cats and love to spend time outdoors by the water and by campfires ... that is it seems when we can find time away from life's busy schedule. I love to write because it helps me learn more about God. And, I am driven by a passion from a love that God has put in my heart to share from my experiences and struggles, as I gain understanding in God’s Word to know how effective and powerful God is over our every situation! I share with you so you can know that you are not alone in your struggles. The same God who helps me and my family, is your help and shield as well! Life is not always easy, but it is possible –I like to share the difference that following Jesus makes in my life. And, I love to share God's patience and mercy and love that is with me! I am not perfect, but am experiencing God sanctify me through and through with every mistake I make; and yes, overcome in Christ! Life is not just about the successes; life on this earth is also about the troubles we overcome to discover what God has hidden in our faith to find! Troubles are more a challenge to grow in our faith ... It is not easy, but in the end the grace of God we discover is worth experiencing God in the midst. By Grace, I have discovered Jesus is Peace and He is my Joy and Wisdom from Heaven. God is our Provider and Healer and Creator, who is our help and shield over all things. By grace, I have experienced a nearness to God through my faith in His Son! We are well forgiven by God; and well blessed when we know and believe the love that God has for us. To say, "all is well with my soul" is a powerful knowledge to understand and experience. I sense God's desire for you to know His love for you and how deep His love for you is that He has SO loved you; God gave you His Son. God loves you right now just as you are! There is so much to learn! I believe that as we learn from God, we are God’s gift to each other. It is all God’s story –and for His glory; and God has SO loved us. I love to paint the vision that God has given me about a Father’s love –that God wants you to dream again and visualize His love for you! In God’s eyes, there’s more to life than we see; and in a world that sometimes misrepresents and misunderstands God and love; God wants you to have the courage to dream His dream and see His vision of a Father’s love for you! Many years ago, I prayed to God, “How can I tell a million people what I know about Your Son?” God showed me I had a gift of a ministry about God's Love; and He called it Hope in Today! I write to please God and I write to encourage you; and I write to spend quiet time with God. All because of this love that God has first shown me! I need Jesus –and my life is about my relationship with God. And, every blessing begins with Him! Love in Christ, Karen Rowe, Director Hope in Today Ministries, Inc.
