"For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6
The days are closing in on Christmas. Are you ready? Are you all wrapped up? And if so, wrapped up in what? Christmas can be a season of many mixed emotions. We can easily get wrapped up in emotions of anger, resentment, pain, regret, hurt, loneliness, fear, envy, bitterness, jealousy, exhaustion, and pity. But because of the Good News, we don't have to stay there.
God desires to take away whatever you have so tightly wrapped up in your heart that causes you pain, hurt and separation from Him. He wants to unwrapped those harmful, destructive emotions and wrap you up in His Love, Hope and Peace instead.
Through the birth of Jesus we have been given the greatest gift of all times... a gift that lasts for eternity. A gift that by itself is reason alone to still have joy during Christmas.
Is your wrapping a bit tight and uncomfortable? Do you need some unwrapping and rewrapping in your life right now? Our Father has the perfect wrap picked out for you, and he is eagerly waiting for you to come to Him for it.
we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it,
veneal
