CHRISTMAS
Today is one of personal testimony from me, to you.
“C” Is For Christ, Our CORNERSTONE
“H” Is For Christ, Our HIGH PRIEST
“R” Is For Christ, REACHING For Us
Last night our Grandson, Avery (age 8), accepted Christ as his personal Savior. We had gone to our Grandson Asher’s (Avery’s little brother) Kindergarten Christmas program. Avery came with his devotional study book to read, as we waited for the program to start. He was sharing his devotion with “Poppy” (that’s what the Grand-kids call Ed, my hubby) and I. Avery was pondering the question, “How does God show His power to us“. One conclusion he came to (with our help), is that God helps us to make good decisions in life. Avery had also been sharing with us, recently, that he has been reading his Bible at night before he goes to sleep. Poppy and I had not been home long last night, when the phone rang. It was Avery, who had something wonderful to tell us. He had just prayed with his Daddy to accept Christ as his personal Savior. Of course, we were excited and so very happy for Avery. As I thought about Avery’s decision to accept Christ, I couldn’t help but think of how God’s gift of the Christ child is constantly “Reaching” for us. It is through the hand of God, the human birth of Christ, the life of Christ, the Cross, the Resurrection and the Holy Spirit that God ”Reaches” us. Yes, those of us who love Avery try our best to lead him in the right direction. But, it is God who “Reached” and found him. So, here’s to Christ, Avery’s Savior, who “Reached” for him and found him.
