About abounding in Christ's love:

Matthew 2:13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. (KJV)

Christ is not a being who seeks to destroy us. Christ is a being of love walking beside us in friendship every moment. Christ came into the world to give us life, to rescue us, and to give us the greatest gift on earth�eternal life. Christ was born giving us love without bounds or limits. In every trial of our life, God's gift to us on the first Christmas was Christ Jesus who came to give us His gift of eternal life. We have our trials. We have our tribulations. However, our God is not the sender of our troubles. Our troubles come from our great adversary, from our great enemy�the fiery hand of Satan. No matter how much trouble we face, Christ understands us and gives us His unlimited love. Just as innocent as Christ was on the day of His birth, so He remains today. Just as we open a gift, Christ wants us to open the door of our heart to His grace, compassion, and love for us.
