I asked God one day to just give me a list of things that He wanted me to do in my life (being task oriented), and show me what His plan was so that I could just follow it. They wanted rules to follow over relationship. God again made a way for His children, the people He created, to have deep relationship with Him again. If that wasn’t enough, jump ahead about 6000 years. Eve ate the forbidden fruit, Adam then followed, and they were banished from the Garden of Eden – banished from intimate and complete relationship with God. Hence to say, you may know the rest of the story. The Bible records that the serpent spoke to Eve once, but may I suggest that deception usually comes over time, not usually in one moment. God, as a good and holy Father, gave Adam and Eve the choice to love and trust Him (obey) or not to. God did the same with Adam and Eve, and you and me – He gave us the choice to love. I am sure that you have, or have had, someone in your life that you loved so deeply and they didn’t love you in return.
Jesus is the reason for the season free#
To have someone love you back, you must give that person the free will to do so. They wanted nothing more than to have someone to have relationship with, someone to bless and someone to shower their passionate love onto. God, Jesus and Holy Spirit were all existent when the earth and all of creation was spoken into being. Let me show you the true meaning of Christmas. However, I do understand that it is not always a fun time for some, but bear with me. I just LOVE the lead up to Christmas and the day itself. “Jesus is the reason for the season” can end up being such a trite saying that it loses most of it’s meaning.
