Just Look

If you look for me at Christmas… {author unknown}


 
       In all the hustle and bustle of the season, have you forgotten the reason for the season?  Have you ever considered how Jesus feels about having to share His birthday with all your other priorities?  Jesus' patience with us, to get to Him, is one example of His love.  He has an appointment with each of us but many put other things ahead of Him.  He didn't say on the Cross......Can we do this later?
       God is always there for you, 365 days..24/7.  Why don't we do more to make Christmas about Christ?
Luke 2:10-12 '' But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”  He is the good news for 'all' people, but does He cause you a feeling of joy or a feeling to dismiss in your life?
      May you find time or make time for stillness this season, so that you may hear His whispers.

  1. I love that: "He didn't say on the Cross... Can we do this later?" I have thought many times this season - It's not my birthday, it's His!
