Love, Joy and peace - true and counterfeit!

In addition to counterfeit currency, there are many counterfeit, to branded products in the market.
Counterfeit products are cheaper but not of good quality and do not last long.
There are also counterfeit love, joy and peace this world offers that compete with a life of true and lasting love, joy and peace that God offers each one of us.
Like all counterfeits, these come easy and cheap and many people go for them. Not only are they short-lived but they also lead us in the path to destruction.
True love, joy and peace come from God through Jesus Christ, Whose birth is the reason of our Christ- mas celebration.
Obtaining this life of love, joy and peace costs us everything of our 'self' that is sinful and which keeps us out of a close relationship with God through The Lord Jesus. It doesn't come easy either, unlike the counterfeit product. We need to diligently seek it, sorrowfully repent of our sins and determine to walk in the path of obedience to God. The reward is great and well worth the cost. You get :-
                                    immeasurable love that passes knowledge
                                      joy unspeakable and full of glory
                                          peace that passes understanding, besides
                                              eternal life of bliss with God in heaven!!

Matthew 7:13-14 (NKJV)
"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

PAY THE COST!  
                            GO FOR THE BEST!!    
                                                                YOU WILL BE BLESSED!!!

John 3:16 (NKJV)
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Luke 2:10-11 (NKJV)
Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Luke 2:13-14 (NKJV)
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
"Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"
