                                                          Christmas
                                                  By Eric Butterworth
                                    (excerpts from The Concentric Perspective)

   Christmas is for children, it is often said. Yes, and for the sleeping child that lies dormant within us.
   Whatever may be your perception of the greatest story ever told, one thing is certain: It is the story of the greatest gift ever given. "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (Jn. 3:16 KJV)
   It is important to keep centered in the conviction that the kingdom of God is within you. The health you seek is within you. The substance that is the root of the prosperity you seek is within you. The love that you hunger for is within you. The golden road to receiving is the kingdom of giving.
   There is a new world awaiting you, a new level of life open to you, and a new experience of the dynasism of Truth that you have been experiencing... Realize that at the center within you the activity of God flows forth as you.

And you will have confidence, because there is hope.  --- Job 11:18
