Merry Christmas to you and yours!~

Jesus.
God's perfect gift to a humanity doomed to bondage. Sin. Evil. Themselves. He came...not just to stay a baby. That was only the start. He came to be a Savior. For a creation He loved dearly and who desperately needed saving. Not just for 'a creation' but for me. I was doomed to bondage. Sin. Evil. Myself. I desperately needed saving.
And He did it. He came. Gave up heaven and shrunk Himself to fit inside human skin. To die a horrific death so I could be free from bondage. Sin. Evil. Myself. To have friendship with God. So I could be a clean, pure daughter in right-standing before her Daddy. Forever.
That is the miracle we should be celebrating. What kind of God does this??? Not on a whim but as a result of an intricately, meticulously designed plan, one invented even before light appeared on the horizon of the universe and the first bite of the apple was taken.
Because He saw me. He saw you. And to Him, we were worth it.
"Long lay the world, in sin and error pining
Til He appeared, and the soul felt its worth..."
"A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn..."
Oh, what an amazing day we are celebrating. What an amazing God. He came. "Immanuel." God with us. God with us still.
