Over
2000 years ago Jesus was born into a world filled with chaos, abuse, wars, and
conflict. This season in December is when we can walk in gratitude for the One
who came humbly as an infant to rescue us teaching us how to survive in peace.
Foretold by Isaiah, all that the world would ever need was promised with a
description. Remarkably God came in human form offering hope, salvation, and true
love for all who would receive Him.
To
show His adoration and concern for mankind, His cruel death and miraculous resurrection
is remembered on Good Friday and Easter. He ascended to Heaven but will return
through clouds of splendor to take His followers to join Him eternally. We
are all invited to take advantage of His(forever) life giving gift of a
personal relationship and love.
Though
the uncertainty of so much faces us daily exposing abuses, wars, and conflict,
our hope is in the One whom we celebrate at Christmas. Will you allow Him to
show His might and strengthen, comfort you when you require it, embrace His
wisdom, praise Him as creator and Father? Leaning into, reflecting on, and
praying to the Prince of Peace. May this Christmas season be sweet to you and His
presence precious now and through the New Year ahead.

For to us a child is born, to us a son
is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be
called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace.
