How He Loves

How He Loves Us Video

Oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all

I've thought a lot the last few days about how much God must love us.
I mean...to send his son to live amongst us, to be one of us, and to face pain and sorrow like us is just amazing.

To come down and make Himself vulnerable in the form of a child just leaves me in awe. 

Yesterday, we celebrated the coming of the greatest gift ever given.  We celebrated the greatest the only real gift that truly has "no strings attached." 

Thing is, our celebration should not stop.  Christmas is not really over. 


In the Christian calendar, Christmas is not officially over until January 5th, but for many folks, Christmas is already ending.  In the next couple of days the trees will come down and the decorations will be put away.
The wrapping paper will be thrown away, the house cleaned up and relatives will leave.

For the most part, Christmas will begin to fade in our minds.  In 6 months, many of you will not even be able to say what gifts you received this year.  

But as Christians, Christmas should not be over...it should be just beginning.

Jesus came down on earth in the form of a little child to show His great love for US!  Christmas begins with us taking Christ out to others.  Christmas continues with us giving the gift of Love's Pure Light to others. 

Today is still Christmas...what are you doing to still celebrate?  Are you still in the Christmas Spirit?  You might still be today, but how about tomorrow?  Or the next day?  Or January 5th?  Will Christmas still be on your mind? 

Will others be able to still see Christmas Light shining in you?
