Jesus Calling for Christmas, with Full Scriptures - Sarah Young
When I entered your world as the God-Man, I came to that which was My own . Everything belongs to Me! Most people think their possessions are their own, but the truth is, you—and everything you possess—belong to Me. Though you may feel isolated and alone at times, this is only an illusion. I bought you at an astronomical price, so you are Mine—My treasure. The colossal price I paid shows how precious you are to Me! Ponder this powerful truth whenever you start to doubt your worth. You are My cherished one, saved by grace through faith in Me, your Savior.
Because you are precious to Me, I want you to take good care of yourself: spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Make time for pondering Scripture in your mind and heart. Protect yourself, both emotionally and physically, from those who would take advantage of you. Remember that your body is the Holy Spirit’s temple. I also want you to help others discover the glorious good news—the free gift of eternal Life for all who believe in Me.
He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

OHN
1:11
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.
E
PHESIANS
2:8–9
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

ORINTHIANS
6:19–20
"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."

3:16
When an angel announced My birth to shepherds living out in the fields near Bethlehem , he told them: Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great Joy . The instruction to not be afraid is repeated in the Bible more than any other command. It is a tender, merciful directive—and it is for you! I know how prone to fear you are, and I do not condemn you for it. However, I do want to help you break free from this tendency.
Joy is a powerful antidote to fear! And the greater the Joy, the more effective an antidote it is. The angel’s announcement to the shepherds was one of great Joy. Don’t ever lose sight of what amazingly good news the gospel is! You repent of your sins and trust Me as Savior. I forgive all your sins, changing your ultimate destination from hell to heaven. Moreover, I give you Myself—lavishing My Love upon you, promising you My Presence forever. Take time to ponder the angel’s glorious proclamation to the shepherds. Rejoice in Me, beloved.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.

UKE
2:8–10
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

3:1
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

NKJV
Iam the greatest Gift imaginable! When you have Me , you have everything you need—for this life and the next. I have promised to meet all your needs according to My glorious riches . Yet My loved ones sometimes fail to enjoy the riches I provide because of an ungrateful attitude. Instead of rejoicing in all that they have, they long for what they do not have. As a result, they become discontented.
I’m training you to practice the sacrifice of thanksgiving—thanking Me in all circumstances. First, give thanks for the blessings you can see in your life. Then stop and ponder the awesome gift of knowing Me. I am your living
