He Came!

22 Dec

Merry Christmas!

Those of us bent toward procrastination can celebrate Christmas with great joy! Our Father God promised a Savior and He came!

I need Him badly – and He Came! My sins are many, but I am especially aware of slothfulness and its hurtful ramifications. Jesus came for me. Hallelujah!

Luke 3:18-19 describes the beautiful Savior we celebrate:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,” Jesus Christ, the anointed one, has the authority to address my sin and deal with it. He came to pay the price for my sin and set me free!

“… because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor;” I am poorer and needier than I realize. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light. He helps me see I am totally dependent on Him for going to heaven and for victorious living on earth. He came to save and transform me!

“He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,” I am sick about the harm I have caused myself and others by being slothful. I cannot undo my selfish past. Jesus guides me through accepting responsibility, asking forgiveness, and repenting sincerely. He forgives and He heals the hurts. He heals the crooked thinking and selfish heart that led to bad habits. He came to heal me and those I hurt!

“‚Ä¶ To proclaim liberty to the captives” I played into the hands of the enemy. I entered a prison of my own making. I need out. He came to set me free!

“..and recovery of sight to the blind” I have been blinded by self-justification. He came to give me clear vision for His purpose!

“To set at liberty those who are oppressed;” The enemy built a stronghold in my life and governed me from there. With twisted thinking, I lived under constant pressure of slothful habits. He came to free me from tyrannical rule!

“To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” I do not measure up. Christ came in God’s appointed time to reconcile me to the Father and set me free!

“Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

This week we can rejoice! He came!

"Beth’s procrastination talk led me to understand procrastination as a heart issue in need of God’s restoration not just a change of my ways. Beth’s personal experiences helped me discover practical ways to attack my own procrastination. As a result I have become a more loving wife, mother and friend who is able to use the gifts God has given me more fully. I highly endorse this talk and would love to hear it again and again."

“Beth’s presentation on procrastination was truly eye-opening. I knew I had a problem with procrastination, but never thought twice about how it impacted my relationships and showed God that I wasn’t onboard with His plan. I began to see each instance took away from being fruitful; I was living for myself! After this revelation, I have been working on procrastinating less. I can see places opening up in my life for more peaceful moments, more time with and for friends and family, and more time for God’s plan to unfold. It’s amazing to know there’s more to life for me than a life full of “should haves” as a result of procrastination.”

“After Beth came and shared about procrastination, many realized that it is possible through the Lord's power to stop putting off what God has called us to do. One mother finally started a blog and another posted a ladies; tea for her church months in advance so that ...she would not put off having it. Although I thought I was not someone who procrastinates, I realized I had some relationships that I needed to work on. Procrastination, I learned, is not just about getting things turned in on time, it's about listening to God and doing what He says to do when He tells you to and obeying God's Word.”
