Good morning on this fine day. We are but one week from the eve of Christmas, if you're not playing the Christmas music by now there will be some prayers for you on the way. As for me, I am hoping that the weather will warm up just a bit, a bit would put it in the right range for a nice snow at Christmas.
God loves you on this day; we do not have to wait for Christmas to see God's love in action in our lives. We might be tempted to think that God loves everyone extra-specially on Christmas, but that would not be correct. Extra-specially? Anyway, God's love does not diminish with circumstances or days on the calendar. We may feel that He loves us less because of something we've done or the circumstances surrounding a "bad" day, but God's love is described as everlasting to everlasting. Have you ever tried to imagine "everlasting"? That word ranks right up there with 'forever' and 'eternity' in my limited imagination; the words just don't compute. We have read or heard the comparisons of the national debt, a billion dollars, or some other huge number and the incredible amounts they attempt to convey to us. However, those numbers are finite, despite what the national debt may seem, it too is a finite number. Eternity, forever, and the amount of God's love for each of us is just not quantifiable to us. A child might stretch her arms out to describe God's love and say, "it's this big!", and that describes God's love pretty well. Stretch your arms out as far as they will go and say, "God loves me this much!"
Have a merry and loving Christmas!
