Most of us really enjoy Christmas; its a happy time of year and is filled with fun and festivities and lots of food. But its so easy to take everything we have for granted. My prayer is that I don't forget how blessed I am.
We have so much, but its so easy to focus on what we don't have. I guess though, what it all boils down to, is the fact that I have everything I need. I have all my hopes and trust in the one who is the center of Christmas; the real meaning behind the extra details and traditions that people have added over time.
Christ came as a child. He was born into this world of darkness and became our light. God was born humbly in human form, to save us. To rescue us from the darkness that we created and so He could feel our pain and bear our shame and take all of that weight on His shoulders as he died on the cross.
Our sins were nailed into his perfect palms,
our transgressions were seared into the soles of his feet,
our imperfections were that crown of thorns crushing his forehead,
so we could be free.
Because of his death, I live. And that is what I am thankful for. Unworthy, but thankful nontheless because I know that He is all I need.
I pray you have a blessed Christmas and remember the hope in Jesus which is all we need. Don't focus on what you get or don't get, but what you already have.
