Day 31 - Something We Should Know About Love

Dear reader, merry Christmas!

Today, I am reminded of how much - just how much - I have because Jesus came. 
I can't even begin to imagine what my life would be if He hadn't come. If He hadn't come to pave, for me, a path to God. If He hadn't made sure I walked on that path to God. 
I don't know if I am making much sense; I have all these feelings in my heart and my fingers are not helping to express them in a coherent manner. 

Today, I am reminded of how unfinished - just how unfinished - I am because I am not letting Jesus. 
I battle with control and giving it over to Jesus. 
It's weird because I really like Him and I do want to please Him. For some reason, though, I still hold on. Not to Him. To everything else. 
Jesus did this awesome thing for me, and what I am doing for Him in return? 
I don't know if I am making much sense; I have all these feelings in my heart and my fingers are not helping to express them in a coherent manner.
​
Today, the Lord reminds us of His love and how unconditional - just how unconditional - it is. 
The point of His birth, He says, is to show how important we are to Him. Just how "worth it" we are.
His sacrifice by way of His birth, death, and resurrection is not a loan that He expects us to pay back in good deeds. 
 
"What y'all can do for Me," the Lord says,  "is to trust in My love, and its ability to overcome." 1 John 4:18
