Christmas Words Of Faith About Imperfections And Things Perfect… It
is Christmas time. It
is the time of year when you gather around Christ's manger scene and marvel at
the wonders of Christ's birth. It
would be nice if every day of the year carried Christmas joy. In
truth, you are not in a Christmas mood some of the time because you are afraid. In
truth, you are afraid of public ridicule about your faith. In
truth, you are afraid to stand tall and make proclamations of your faith. In
truth, you would rather run and hide than make statements
about your faith, perhaps statements that can touch the world. At
this time of year, when so many people celebrate Christ's birth, turn to Christ
more fully and He will help you to be stronger and have more courage. Christ
will help you have courage as He helped Joseph have courage. He
will instruct you, in all the ways He deems wise, to see past your fears,
doubts, and insecurities. So
open your heart and life up to Him. Look
not at yourself this Christmas, but instead look Christ. Look
at how He worked in the life of Joseph, and at how He worked in the life of
Mary. He
will take away your fear so you may show others Christ's love. He
will touch you so you may reach others in His name. Praise
His Name. Amen. |
