Last week I was sharing my story at a women’s group. I made the statement that a baby changes everything … the birth of my son certainly changed my own life and I know first-hand the number of people who say “my life would not be same without my son or daughter.”
A baby … that tiny creature that holds onto your pinky finger so tight … brings a whole array of emotions in the lives of not only the parents, but the entire family. From the announcement of a new little bundle of joy until delivery day, anticipation grows day after day.
Yes, each and every child is precious to God and because He loved us so much, He became one himself. That tiny baby, born in a stable in Bethlehem, changed the world and continues to change lives every single day. This was God’s gift to mankind; when we unwrap this gift, receiving it fully and taking care of it leads to life eternal.
This Christmas season let us remember the love of Christ, share His story and most importantly open our hearts to His love and salvation. Think about!
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave His only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
