It's so hard to believe that God would send his only son to die on a cross for our sins, isn't it? It's even more hard to comprehend that he would send him to be born in a manger, on a cold dark night so long ago. It's hard for me to wrap my head around that precious little baby being born in the cold, and sleeping on the hay, surrounded by animals.
When I think of this, I realize just how much we are loved. Because of this, Christmas has a very special meaning for me. I think about it every Christmas eve, and give thanks for my salvation. I realize that I'm not worthy, and am only saved by his Grace.
I hope that everyone will reflect on the true meaning of Christmas this year. As you exchange gifts, remember the gift that was given to you, and continues to give to you every day. That beautiful gift that can not be purchased at a store, and will never leave you financially and emotionally bankrupt. A gift that will forever save your soul.
God bless us, everyone. May the joy of giving fill your heart, peace fill your life, and love always continue to dwell in your presence.
