It is Christmas Eve. Outside it is very dark but inside is brilliantly bright for Jesus Christ is about to be born. He was only born once, but every since that day we have the opportunity to be born again into eternal life. All we have to do is believe in Him and then ask Him into our heart. Once this is done you will likely want to serve Him for He not only gives us a new life, but also a new motivation for living out our life. When this takes place He has become our Lord as well as our Savior.

I lived a lifetime fearful of serving God. In the back of my mind/heart, I knew there must be people hurting and hiding the hurt done to them in the flesh (just as I had been doing). There was also equally a number of people hurting for what they had done to others which we call abuse. Whether we were abused, whether we were the abuser or whether we had both in our lives, the same Savior came so that we would be able to live beyond this hurt which leads to hang-ups and habits (none of which lead us to Christ). 

I have found that the fearfulness I had in my younger years was all a lie/deception from Satan. Fully serving our Savior and Lord is so very fulfilling! This very babe who was sent from God above will bring about a freedom where abundance of life abounds without fear. The fear is replaced with a desire to help others find their own freedom. Christ came to serve and I want to join Him in this service. How grateful I am for His abundant FREEDOM!
