WHYam I sharing all this?
because the BEST GIFT for any time
CHRISTmas or any day/night

It's a relationship, which means coming to know JESUS,
believe in Him as the Son of God, Son of Man
and admit that you need to be saved by
accepting JESUS today
as the
WAY
the TRUTH & the LIFE
learn to talk with Him daily & develop your relationship

Given to you as a GIFT
a Present of His PRESENCE
always with you
JESUS
is 
EVERYTHING
and the only way to the God, the Father 
[not to be separated from God is Heaven]
to be separated forever is Hell
You may feel or think that Heaven and Hell is right here
(and in a way, it can be, but there's more beyond this life & its hardships)
it's an eternity - an eternal life
with God & your loved ones
who believed in
JESUS

THE GREATEST GIFT
JESUS
THE GREATEST GIVER
JESUS
YOU ARE WELCOME INTO THE PRESENCEof theGREATJESUS
today, yesterday & forever
He is the same & He's inviting you
He's been waiting just for you
to choose, to decide
to open
His Present, His Gift
and each day of your life from this day forward
you can unwrap more & more with
your new Friend & Savior
JESUS
All you need to do to start is say so (it's called a prayer, a way to speak to Him)

"God our Father, I believe that out of Your infinite love You have created me. In a thousand ways I have shunned Your love. I repent of each and every one of my sins. Please forgive me. Thank You for sending Your Son to die for me, to save me from eternal death. I choose this day to enter into (renew my) covenant with You and to place Jesus at the center of my heart. I surrender to Him as Lord over my whole life. I ask You now to flood my soul with the gift of the Holy Spirit so that my life may be transformed. Give me the grace and courage to live as a disciple in Your Church for the rest of my days. In Jesus name I pray Amen." — St. Paul Street Evangelization "

[I wanted a prayer without a lot of "church sounding" words (they just complicate a simple act of accepting God's free gift)- it's too hard to find, but I tried to choose one without the word 'sin' because 'sin' means wrongs that you admit you have done (against God & others), then you repent (which means changing your way & trying not to repeat) but all God wants to hear is that you know you need Him (Jesus) who died so that you could live free & for eternity. Admit (or Accept), Believe, Confess Jesus as Lord & Savior over your life, to love & live as He teaches in the New Testament of the Bible. (God's Word)]

JESUS & HIS GIFT of SALVATION
