Are you coming to Jesus for Christmas?
Let me share very personally for a moment. I love to write. I love to say things to make you think. But Christmas makes me want to reach out with my heart and connect with you, even if it is limited to words.
I’ve been through just about every range of experiences and emotions at Christmas. I know the warmth of family. I know the agony of loss. I’ve experienced alone in the parking lot after Christmas Eve service. I’ve felt the full weight of guilt at Christmas—true guilt and false guilt (both crushing).
I’ve experienced restoration. I believe in miracles. I depend on God, today. And I am thankful that He is faithful, to bless me right now. And so I trust in Jesus for everything and put Him in charge. God is good, all the time, even when some things are not good.
Final word: Jesus comes by invitation only!
