Matthew 1:23  See, the virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel,  which is translated “God is with us.”  (CSB)

When God enters your world, everything changes. It awakens us to the reality that it was his world before it became our world. We belong to him before he belongs to us. All of the initiative lies on his side of the relationship. 

He is Creator. He is Savior. He is the Eternal One. And, he is with us.

He makes his home with us. 

This was always his idea. Genesis tells this story. 

This is his idea today for our tomorrow and forever. Revelation tells this story. 

Christmas is about home. Although Joseph and Mary traveled far from their home, they arrived in their ancestral land among their relatives. Jesus was home for Christmas.

And he has been every moment since. 

God is with us. One day we will be with him up close and personal as Jesus was that night so long ago. The curtain will be pulled back for us to see the greater reality our hearts have longed for, and all have longed for, across ages of hunger and hope. 

May you know the True Gift of Christmas today. Jesus makes his home in the hearts of all who welcome him. 

Merry Christmas! 

I will celebrate Jesus making himself at home in my heart.

Our Father, thank you for Christmas. Thank you for preparing for us a place called Home. Amen.

Psalm 106:1-3
Praise the LORD!
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
Who can list the glorious miracles of the LORD?
Who can ever praise him enough?
There is joy for those who deal justly with others
and always do what is right.

Daily D – Psalm 103:1-5

Psalm 103:1-5
Let all that I am praise the LORD;
with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.
Let all that I am praise the LORD;
may I never forget the good things he does for me.
He forgives all my sins
and heals all my diseases.
He redeems me from death
and crowns me with love and tender mercies.
He fills my life with good things.
My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!
