Doesn't Anybody Care?



As Christmas approaches it is becoming more and more obvious that there are
so many people throughout the world in need of God's love and mercy.
Please use this season of peace and goodwill to reach out to those in need
and give them the gift of Christ.  Show them that there IS someone who cares for them,
and that they are not alone, if they will just reach out to God and ask Him to forgive.


DOESN'T ANYBODY CARE?


Every day, as I look around me,
I see so many people filled with despair,
And, Lord, I find myself asking,
"Doesn't anybody care?"

There are people living on the streets,
Freezing cold, and with feet so bare,
And more and more I have to ask,
"Doesn't anybody care?"

I see so many so-called Christians
With more than enough money to spare,
But they only think of making more –
Why doesn't anybody care?

People are killing each other,
And sin is rife everywhere.
Oh, Lord, why doesn't anyone listen,
And why doesn't anybody care?

"My child, I know just what you mean,
And I hear your humble prayer.
That's why I sent my Son, Jesus –
To show you how much I care."

"If people would only obey My Word,
They'd be released from the tempter's snare,
So I want you to reach out to the world,
And tell them how much I care."

"Tell them, if they will confess their sin,
And if true repentance they will declare,
From all of their burdens they'll be set free,
And I'll show them just how much I care."

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, and that your New Year is filled with an abundance of
God's mercy and grace.  Please leave any comments, good or bad, if you would be so kind,
as I'd love to know what people think and what they are going through.

God's Love Came Down To Earth



A Blessed Christmas To All

I pray that this Christmas you will be blessed with an abundance of God's mercy and grace as
we celebrate the time of our dear Saviour's birth. Peace be to you all, and may His joy fill your hearts.



GOD'S LOVE CAME DOWN TO EARTH

God in His mercy, long ago
Sent His Son from heaven above,
To live with us upon the earth,
And to reveal to us His love.

The shepherds and the wise men came
To see their new-born King,
And with a joyful song of praise
All heaven and earth did ring.

He was not dressed in kingly robes
With a crown upon His head…
He was born in a simple cattle stall,
And a manger was His bed.

He came to earth in human form,
So He could be like you and me –
He knew just how His life would end,
Yet He still came to set us free.

So every Christmas we rejoice,
And celebrate His birth,
For on that day so long ago
GOD'S LOVE came down to earth.

God bless you, and peace be with you.

The Greatest Gift Of All!


This Christmas, please help others to remember just what Christmas is really all about. With all the hustle and bustle we sometimes forget that the greatest gift of all cannot be bought.  It does not have to be earned.  It was freely given to all, if people would just ask God for it.  So, why not give someone the greatest gift of all this Christmas - JESUS!

THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL!

Every Christmas we see lots of  people
Madly scurrying to and fro,
Constantly searching for that perfect gift,
As evidence of their love to show.


They go rushing around from store to store,
With only one thing on their mind,
Forgetting that the true meaning of Christmas
In a department store they will not find.


They think that money can buy love,
So they spend more than they can afford,
Hoping if the gift is a costly one,
They in return will receive a reward.


Why can't people see there is only one gift
Which can fill the cold, empty heart –
It will fill them with peace and so much joy,
And true mercy and love will impart.


So this Christmas introduce someone to Jesus,
And ask them to please heed His call –
Please help them to realise Jesus
Is truly the greatest gift of all.
