It's the Christmas season again! I love this time of year, I absolutely love it. There is not one thing I dislike about the holidays. I love that people become joyful over the tiniest things. I love that you can smile at a stranger and wish them a merry Christmas.
More than that, I love that I can hear songs about Christ playing in Metropolitan Market. I love that everyone turns their eyes to heaven at some point during this season.
I was just reading over the Christmas Story (the Birth of Christ) and I saw a verse that I never payed much attention to before, Luke 2:14
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."
Wow. It says that His favor rests on us. On lowly human beings. Humans that continually mock his name and all that he represents. Humans who again and again lie, cheat, steal, kill. Hoe amazing that he favors us. What a glorious thing! He sent us a Christmas gift. He sent us love, He sent us favor, and He sent us His son.
As you go into this Christmas season, think about the reason we love Christmas so much. Its because we all give, we are all participating in giving to one another. Give a smile, give a hug. Just GIVE something.
Merry Christmas
