I AM THE GIFT

that continuously gives- bounteously, with no strings attached. Unconditional Love is such a radical concept that even My most devoted followers fail to grasp it fully. Absolutely nothing in heaven or on earth can cause Me to stop loving you. You may feel more loved when you are performing according to your expectations. But My Love for you is perfect; therefore if it is not subject to variation. What does vary is your awareness of My loving Presence.

When you are dissatisfied with your behavior, you tend to feel unworthy of My Love. You may unconsciously punish yourself by withdrawing from Me and attributing the distance between us to My displeasure. Instead of returning to Me and receiving My Love, you attempt to earn My approval by trying harder. All the while, I am arching to hold you in My everlasting arms, to enfold you in My Love. When you are feeling unworthy or unloved, come to Me. Then ask for receptivity to My unfailing Love. 1 John 4: 15-18; Deuteronomy 33:27; Psalm 13:5

Chrismon Tree

Chrismon is a combination of two words -- Christ and monogram. Early Christians used these symbols to identify themselves to one another, to designate meeting places of Christians, and to show unbelievers they were professing Christians.

Even more important, these symbols of early church served to transmit the faith and beliefs of artist-teacher to the viewers. Thus the inspiration was shared and passed on.

Because Chrismons are used to decorate the free in the Lord's house, those who have made the ornaments have worked diligently in trying to make each ornament meaningful and worthy of it's place on the tree. The Chrismon tree is only complete when those who view it understand its meaning.

Chrismons are made in white and gold. White suggests the innocence , purity and perfection of our Savior. Gold refers to His majesty and glory. The evergreen tree suggests life eternal. By using tiny white lights, we present Christ as the Light of the World.
