Meditate on the True Reason for the Christmas Season: Jesus

Merry Christmas, indeed. Glory to God, in the highest. Immanuel, God with us. Noel, a birth unlike any other! The celebration of Christ’s birth on earth should continue to touch our hearts in layers as we grow in His wisdom. There is no one who loves us more than our God. Celebrate Christmas. Be generous. Have fun! Exude joy. He came so we would live our lives to the full. The Christmas season gives us a chance to remember and embrace the blessings in our lives, and reach out to those God has put in our paths to help and serve.

If there is one thing the pandemic has reminded us of, it’s the importance of being together. God will always place people around us. Reach out, connect, and celebrate our adoption into the family of God, alongside the sweet Babe born in a manger that first Christmas night. Keeping Him at the center of Christmas, and our lives, allows us to experience the holiday, and every day, drenched in supernatural peace, joy, and love.

We can fully proclaim, here and now,

Rock and Refuge. The Lord Jesus has come. The Messiah, Savior, Emmanuel, is here to stay. Though He isn’t here among us physically, His Spirit walks with us every step of the way.

Merry Christmas.

And Glory Up.
