The Holiday Season is a time when everyone seems to be in such a hurry. The stores are telling us to spend more money and time with them. Buy now and pay later. What would Jesus like for us to do?

Jesus gives us life and life more abundantly. In other words the true meaning of the season. We are living in a world that has been lost since The Garden of eden. People are uncertain of the future. What are we to think, and further, how are we to live?

Only the Word of God is the answer in Christ Jesus. We can see the promise of salvation wrapped if a bundle cloth keeping a baby warm in a far away land. Born in a barn in the middle of winter. This is a season for love. It is a time to give and show love.

God so loved the world that He gave us Jesus. this act this one of eternal life and love with God forever. Life is so much more than we could ever imagine with Christ Jesus as our Joy to the World.

The Joy of Jesus is Our Salvation

A Prayer for Cleansing
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, 2.1--0.1 ; 0.12 ; -15.15 after he had gone in to Bath–she'ba.

1 Have mercy upon me, O God,

according to thy loving-kindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity,

and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions:

and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned,

and done this evil in thy sight:
that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest,
and be clear when thou judgest. Rom. 3.4
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity;

and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:

and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:

wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness;

that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins,

and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God;

and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence;

and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;

and uphold me with thy free Spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;

and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,

thou God of my salvation:
and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips;

and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice;

else would I give it:
thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:

a broken and a contrite heart, O God,
thou wilt not despise.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion:

build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,

with burnt offering and whole burnt offering:
then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
