This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. – 1 John 4:9
The foundation of Christmas is love. We gather with family and friends because of love. We fight the crowds at the mall to buy a Christmas present because of love. We spent hours baking, cooking, cleaning and preparing because of love. We give to those in need because of love. We gather for candlelight services to worship and praise the Lord because of love. Without love there would be no Christmas.
It is because of God’s great love for us that we celebrate Christmas. God showed us his love by sending his one and only Son into the world as a little infant born in a cattle stall. What a wonderful gift! This Christmas season let us share God’s wonderful love with others.
Prayer: Thank you Father for your love for me and showing your love by sending me the most wonderful gift in Jesus Christ. Help me to remember your love for me and share that love with those around me. Amen.
Faith Tip: Don’t let the busyness of the Christmas season overwhelm you, instead find ways to share God’s love with others today.
