GOD IS LOVE

Christmas is coming soon and I'm sure you are trying to finish last minute shopping and decorating, putting up the Christmas tree, sending Christmas cards to bunches of people, and the list goes on and on. I'm sure your head may be floating with all the business that this season brings. But as you are taking care of all those things, I hope that you will remember the true meaning of Christmas. Many people can't even say what that really is. Well I can tell you one thing, it's not believing in Santa Claus. He's a made up character that I believe is a hinderance to kids really knowing the real meaning of the holiday. But I won't go into that at this moment as that would probably be a REALLY long post. :) The true meaning of Christmas is the story of God sending his son to live and to die for our sins so that we would not go to hell. It's the story of Jesus coming into this world, born of a virgin in a small stable. He was a king, and yet he left all his glories and was born in the most humbling way. There wasn't anyone waiting to greet Him, no throne or gold, or anything royal for that matter. He was born in a stable and slept in a manger with hay. But the reason he came was to die for our sins and arise on the third day. It's a story of God's love towards us. I hope that you feel God's love in your life every day and that you will celebrate Christmas as the miraculour birth of Jesus Christ coming into this world to pave a way for sinners to be set free. GOD IS LOVE.
