"Jesus, Happy birthday!*
Thank You so much for being willing to humbly live life here on Earth as a human being, starting as a helpless baby. Your sacrifice means the world to me because it truly changed everything. I can have a personal relationship with my Creator because I’ve been rescued from the chains of sin and darkness. I praise You today and every day! May I dwell on You and share You with those around me on this special day. Amen."

Love is Found in Knowing JESUS as my Savior |
| Lamentations 3:22 “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail.” Mark 10:21 “Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” He said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” John 15:13 ”Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”1 John 4:7-12 "This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and His love is made complete in us” |
| "God is Love, right? There is a whole chapter devoted to the theme of love. (1 Corinthians 13) What greater way to celebrate God’s love for us than with these Advent Love scriptures!" Love is patient; love is kind. Love isn’t envious, doesn’t boast, brag, or strut about. There’s no arrogance in love; it’s never rude, crude, or indecent—it’s not self-absorbed. Love isn’t easily upset. Love doesn’t tally wrongs or celebrate injustice; but truth—yes, truth—is love’s delight! Love puts up with anything and everything that comes along; it trusts, hopes, and endures no matter what. Love will never become obsolete. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (The Voice) |
