The Christmas season can be a bit messy because we, as human beings, are messy. However, it's precisely because of our imperfections that Christmas exists. To understand the reason for Christmas, it's important to know the background of the Christmas Story. Through sending Jesus, God initiated the process of blessing and renewing the world and invited us to restore our relationship with Him.
To experience true relational connection we must be where our feet are.
God is with us to comfort us with peace, but we must choose to be filled with it.
God came to be with us to remove our excuses from us.
