“........for God is LOVE”                                                                                          1 John 4:8

God is love=and in

That love=is the FIRST GIFT

Form God=

And it contains all others

God loves you=God loves me=

It is up to us

To ACCEPT THAT LOVE=

And to return that love to God

God's love for us

To us and it is

The first gift=he wishes for us=

To ACCEPT from him

The FUNDAMENTALS=the gifts

Of God to us

“For the wages of sin

Is death=

And the GIFT OF GOD

“Thanks be to God

For his INDESCRIBABLE GIFT”                                                                             2 Corinthians 9:15

“Do not neglect

YOUR GIFT=

Which was given you

Through prophecy-

When the body of elders

Laid their hands on you”                                                                                         1 Timothy 4:14

This Christmas season=and

The NEW YEAR=let us take time

To Reflect

Reflect on the ABUNDANCE 

Of all of God's gifts

Including the CENTRAL THEME

Of God's LOVE=for both you and me

THE FUNDAMENTALS of God's LOVE

The fundamentals of God's love

Despite all of our sins and imperfections

“Every good and PERFECT GIFT

Is from above=Coming down from the Father

Of the heavenly lights=who does not change

Like shifting shadows”                                                                                                   James 1:17

“Each of you=should use WHATEVER GIFT

As fruitful stewards=of God's grace

In its various forms”                                                                                                   1 Peter 4:10
