Jesus is My Identity

                  When we are filled with the Holy Ghost, and baptised in Jesus name, when we are save we take on Jesus name.  We are adopted into his kingdom and his name becomes our own. I painted this picture with many finger prints to show that there are many who need Jesus in their life and the giant fingerprint shows within the print the words Jesus is my identity showing that I am no longer my own but that I belong to Jesus.

While You Were Sleeping- Casting Crowns

The Unwanted Christmas Tree

             I was walking home from school when I saw a Christmas tree laying on the curb.  I almost walked past when I noticed a brown cardboard sign right beside it.  Immediately I thought that's strange normally a person would throwout a tree after Christmas not before?  That's when I decided to get a closer look I walked around the tree and looked at the sign which read free tree.  Then I looked up to see a tree in the person's window that was bigger and more grand then this full of beautiful decorations.  Then I looked at this one it was nice and average, it was smaller then the other tree.  I started to think about how excited my two youngest siblings would be if I brought a real tree home I almost took it home, when I realized I should call my mom first so she would not get mad.  So I called her and can you guess what her answer was? It was no because we simply have no room to put it.  I started to walk the rest of the way home and for some strange reason I just could not get that tree out of my head.  Then I started thinking about the first Christmas and how their was no room for our Savior Christ Jesus.  Not in the inn (Luke 2:7), not even in his adult life (Matthew 8:20) and sadly in the place of allot of persons hearts not even now.  There is simply no room.  Where does that leave you do you have room for Jesus in your life?
  • Luke 2:7

King James Version (KJV)

 7And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

  • Matthew 8:20

King James Version (KJV)

 20And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
