Merry Christmas

Today we celebrate that light came into the world, and hope was born.

That no matter how broken, hurt and shattered we are, we can be healed.

That no matter how lonely we may feel, we need never be alone, for God is with us.

That no matter how far we've fallen, we can be redeemed.

For God loves each of us so much that He came to a scared young couple, in an occupied country, living in poverty and struggle, so that He might save us for Himself; that we might live in His light, and in His love, forever and ever.  He came to us to show us how adored and cherished we are, beyond all that we can even conceive of.

There is no better news, and no greater reason for rejoicing.

God with us, so that we might be with God.

Merry Christmas, and a blessed Christmastide to you all.  A day given in love, to be lived in love, for He is love.

Glory to God in the highest.

-Beth Haynes Butler
