And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7
When we think on God's perfect ways and come to the story of His Son's birth, we might see what we think are imperfections. No reservation at the inn for our Lord's birth? A feed bunk for animals as a cradle? However, for all those who have endured that question, "Were you born in a barn?" Jesus is our hero. We do not believe ourselves worthy of that honor, as our Lord was, having been born in hospitals, houses, and other less honorable places. Our Lord's birth less than perfect? Say not so! It is rather our definition of what is perfect that needs perfecting. And may our Lord Jesus work in us to fix that!
Have a wonderful Christmas season!
