If You Want It Done Right Then Do It Yourself

  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 
  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 
Have you ever needed a task done or a home improvement job at the house or just a errand such as pick up the dry cleaning?
Your schedule is such that it is inconvenient for you to do it yourself and you are lead to enlist the aide of someone else to help you get it done.
You know how and are able to get the task done but you need someone else to do it for you.
The issue is now if that someone is able or will be able to complete the task at hand.
It great if they say “no problem and it materializes that it was no issue at all and they did an excellent job for you.
However many times you are dishearten with your solicited help because they do not have the skill set for the task or the commitment to do it properly.
They bumble it so that you get so frustrated and just tell them “leave it alone, I’ll do it myself”.
Sometimes you become frustrated that they didn’t have your skill set or didn’t know the simple ins and outs of the process.
After taking the project back to ourselves and many times giving the failing volunteer a One out Five Star evaluation we go on to do the job the right way.

One thing I think we don’t consider is the feelings of the failed volunteer. We many times don’t consider whether or not that person is hurt emotionally for failing.

Christmas is the fix it of all fix its.
Because man failed to fix the problem that he himself created.
The sin and death issue was not a God problem because God cannot sin.
It was a man problem because when he brought sin into the world he then doomed himself to death, hell and eternal damnation.
Note: God had created him to live forever in the garden of Eden and be free of health issues and the knowledge of sin.
After God had made the earth, the lights, the grass and herbs, the creatures of land and sea, and man after His image and likeness, this is God’s reaction;   And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 
  And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 
  And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
2. You’ve seen a coaches’ disgusted reaction at his team when he calls the perfect play for a touchdown and the team does every thing wrong to blow the play.
They jump off sides The quarter back misses the wide open receiver the wide open receiver bobbles the ball that is thrown right into his hands.
The coach looks at the team and asks how could you blow that??
3. Look what directions God gives Adam and Eve;
4. Not only that but God gives man a fit mate for life a woman. Made just for him and his needs and the earths for human multiplication.
  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 
4. Not only that but God gives man a fit mate for life a woman. Made just for him and his needs and the earths for human multiplication.
5. God gives Adam simple instructions:   And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 
  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 
6. Guess what leave it to man to mess things up.....
7. God now attempts to use man to redeem himself..
a. Look at what happens
*Cain becomes a murder
*Man becomes so wicked God says I’ll start over....the flood and Noah and a new covenant
*Noah gets drunk first thing on land
*Tower of Babel ....God says spread out they rebel and build a tower.....
*God tries again with Abram and give him a promise
*Abraham and Sarah try to mess it .....
*God builds a nation in Egypt and delivers them with Moses and that went so bad that He killed a third of them in the wilderness and even Moses and Aaron couldn’t cross over the Jordan
Once they crossed over and became a nation they wanted to follow the pagan gods and then want a king to rule them and not God himself.
The kings sin and the people sinned right behind them even the best of them David sinned and had his own soldier killed for his wife.
He sent prophets after prophets and they still rebelled
He put them in captivity and brought them out and they still sinned and failed.
God stopped talking to Israel for 400 hundred years.....
God then said I’ll have to fix this issue myself......
You know as before the coach can’t take the field he has to send in a better player
  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 
  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 
Christmas is the great fix it
That’s why it’s so joyous because Jesus fixed it for us…He fixed it for the world.....
