The Treasure in Your Life

Luke 2:19 "But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart." All through the birth of Jesus and his life, Mary pondered and thought about everything that was happening and treasured it in her heart! Sometimes it's so easy to just go through life like normal, but we all need to learn to think about or "ponder" what is going on in our lives. Let what's going on in your life become a treasure! That's when you can see God the most!!

Before He Was Born...

Matthew 1:21 "She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." They knew Jesus was going to save us from our sins before he was even born!! Can you imagine if before you were born, your family knew exactly what you were going to do when you grew up? That would be pretty amazing! Jesus is so amazing and special and if he hasn't saved you, he wants to!!!

Trust in God...

Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Trust in God so He can fill you up with joy and peace this Christmas!! So you can overflow with hope from the Holy Spirit!!! We sing songs like "Joy to the world", but this year lets trust in God, so we can experience this TRUE joy, peace, and hope!!!

Washing Their Feet

John 13:5 "After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him." In Jesus' day, feet washing was a symbol of humility. It was the job the servant usually did. Jesus humbled himself and washed all of his disciples' feet, even Judas, who he already knew was going to betray him!! We should follow Jesus' example - humble ourselves and honor someone that you don't think deserves it!

3 Main Things

Ephesians 4:2 "Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." We should be HUMBLE and GENTLE, dealing with people always in LOVE. Humility, gentleness, and love are three of the things that God says we should have multiple times!! If you read about Jesus in the bible, you will see that these are three of his main qualities. Follow his example and ask God for this humble, gentle, and loving spirit!
