• [Personal]: Images of Christmas

  Happy, joyous, gospel filled Christmas, friends!

  December has simply flown by. 
  Last night, as I sat on the couch in the glowing light from the Christmas tree, I was reflecting back.
  Back on last year and how far Jesus has brought me. Last December I was in bed for most of the month. 
  This December, I have been out of bed most of the month. Praise Jesus. 

  While life still is filled with many challenges and unknowns, my soul is learning the simple truth of delighting in Him.
  Delighting in the Gospel… delighting in the simple-but-oh-so-profound truth that God became man… 

  man. 

  A physical human being. Leaving glory to come to bitty, insignificant earth…
  so He could feel, experience and relate with me and so He could die in my place…

  because He so loved. 

  As C.S. Lewis says: “The Gospel is to me, simply irresistible!” 
  Oh, Jesus… increase in my life and heart to be overflowing from my every part. 
  Teach me more of the Gospel, of my need of it and your grace. 
  Show me how to let the Spirit lead in my daily life and responses. 
  Give me more faith to daily trust and rely on you for everything. 

  It is no secret that I love Christmas. 
  The lights. 
  The beauty. 
  The celebration. 
  The friends. 
  The gifts. 

  Mostly, I love Christmas, because Christmas is about Jesus. 
  There is a peace that comes with Christmas. 

  I am learning that peace. It often comes through worship.
  We were able to be blessed by two Christmas eve services last night…
  my heart was in awe, my eyes in tears as I fell in love once again with HIM. 

  This evening, may your heart be drawn to worship The Baby. 

  “Jesus, laid in a lowly manger, facing a world of dangers,
  Come to turn me a stranger… into a child of God.”

  Be blessed, friends!
  The Savior has come… and will come again!
