Christmas Holiday - What a God we have! Our God loves us and always reaches out to us. Our God wants to save us from our brokenness and from all evil. This is a God who constantly is seeking our company and seeking our love and actively loving us. Some of us don’t really believe that about God. Instead God is some kind of a disciplinarian who has His rules and we spend our lives trying to follow them or trying to evade them. Yet we are all called to believe in this God who loves us and who invites us to love Him. Throughout all of our Scriptures we see God breaking into human history, telling us that He loves us. Yes, for sure, there are times when God presents a moral code to us. That way of living is not meant to kill us but it is meant to guide us so that we can have truly happy and joyful lives. Far too often we can misunderstand the intent of moral codes. May our love for God transform us! May the contemplation of His Word help us understand how to love others more! May our hearts go out to others and be transformed by that love! May Christ be born in our world and in our hearts and in every aspect of our human life! Yours in Prayer, David Caraway
