3:27: “Give it to Me. Give it to Me – all that troubles you. And I will give you REST. Rest as defined by Me, your Savior.

“In your celebration of Christmas, do you remember that I was born to give you REST? What is Rest? Rest – separation from your sins. Rest – peace, true peace in your soul no matter the outward circumstances of life. Rest – trust in Me to provide all that you need. Rest – a grounding, unshakable stability in time of storm. Rest – freedom from pride, which causes you to strive unnecessarily. Rest – freedom to love Me and others. Rest – freedom to be who I designed you to be, to pursue your destiny I chose for you. Rest – Love of yourself. Rest – assuredness of your eternity.

Do you lack any of these? As you celebrate My coming to earth – DO YOU REALLY CELEBRATE MY COMING TO EARTH? Or do you celebrate a tree, and presents, and family? I died on the cursed tree for you. I give you supernatural presents you could never buy or receive from someone else. I created family.

“Do you REST in Me at Christmas?”
