“Christmas is not just a day, an event to be observed and speedily forgotten. It is a Spirit which should permeate every part of our lives” – W.P.
“If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him” 1 John 4:13-16
It’s a beautiful night. Our home is quite messy. However, it felt right to lay aside the concern of all things cluttered and undone, and light up and decorate this small corner of our home with our humble little Christmas tree. My sons and I decorated away to wonderful worship songs. Joe watched and rested after a hard day’s work. Maximus had a darting out the door moment and Isaac and I were puzzled where he went and what he was up to. It happens 🙂 We went looking for him and found him gazing upon the light show God placed in the sky. Everyone back inside, Isaac added his brilliant idea of a creative touch-the snowy white glittery tinsel as the Perfect way to wrap it all up in LOVE.
Just thinking about God’s incredible LOVE. To step away from the mess and all that is not perfect, and into the PERFECT LOVE OF CHRIST – brings a wonderful sense of peace and calm.
What a wonderful soothing balm to a soul in the midst of a broken world, to abide in a place of wholeness, comfort, peace, and rest found in Jesus Christ. Wrapped up tight in the arms of the Everlasting God Who gives the gift of Everlasting Life. Wrapped up in His LOVE now and forever.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”. John 3:16
“And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” Isaiah 9:6
“Abide in My Love” John 15:9
