Part of what we love at Christmas are the lights, shimmering in the darkness, setting the stage for the emotion of the day of giving.
What God loves at Christmas is the Light (of Jesus), shimmering in the darkness (of our lost souls), setting the stage for the emotion of our day of giving (our heart to belief in Christ).
Christmas isn't just December 25th, though we need a calendar date around which to organize and celebrate.
Christmas is an individual moment when the birth of Christ becomes your milestone of deciding that God wants a relationship with you, and that He draws you in through believing in the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus.
The Christmas story is the portal through which we enter into the mystery of God. Then, in a personal and intimate relationship, uniquely yours, God begins to shimmer in communication with you.
He'll catch your attention, intersect your circumstances, listen endlessly to your heart, and teach you courage and humility.
The Light never goes out, the season never ends, the emotion of the day of receiving His love never ceases.
Have you found your Christmas?
