This Advent, show that Jesus is present in our own lives ....

Embrace the spirit of giving, think about how blessed are we and therefore we should be aware of the people in need around us. Let them feel the joy and love.

Giving to others is one way Christians can live their faith especially in the current season of advent. Please be as generous, James 2:17 ".... faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead."

Some of the many ways we can give;

1. give your time to serve others. (volunteer to serve the community and church)
2. provide for the needy. (food, clothings, shelter, donations and others)
3. a simple random act of kindness.

�And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.� (Colossians 3:17)

In all this I have given you an example that by such work we must support the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, for he himself said, �It is more blessed to give than to receive.� (Acts 20:35)

Show me your ways, Lord, in You alone I put my Trust ~ Psalm 25

1 In you, Lord my God,
I put my trust.

2 I trust in you;
do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
3 No one who hopes in you
will ever be put to shame,
but shame will come on those
who are treacherous without cause.

4 Show me your ways, Lord,
teach me your paths.
5 Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
6 Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you, Lord, are good.

8 Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
9 He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.
10 All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful
toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.
11 For the sake of your name, Lord,
forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

12 Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?
He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.
13 They will spend their days in prosperity,
and their descendants will inherit the land.
14 The Lord confides in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known to them.
15 My eyes are ever on the Lord,
for only he will release my feet from the snare.

16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 Relieve the troubles of my heart
and free me from my anguish.
18 Look on my affliction and my distress
and take away all my sins.
19 See how numerous are my enemies
and how fiercely they hate me!

20 Guard my life and rescue me;
do not let me be put to shame,
for I take refuge in you.
21 May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my hope, Lord, is in you.

22 Deliver Israel, O God,
from all their troubles!
