Merry Christmas! (Day 669)
The miracle of miracles. The unique point of time when the endless God limited himself to the finite human body to feel our pains, withstand our temptations, and redeem us from our sins. What news can be better than this?
As I was thinking about proper words to share on this day, I remembered what I wrote on March 12, 2022:
Where is God when Ukraine writhes in pain? He is with us. He is Emmanuel. He mourns with those who lost their loved ones. He grieves with those whose homes have been destroyed. He heals the wounded. He gently carries into safety those who have to flee. He brings food and water to the besieged cities. He keeps his children warm as they spend night after night in bomb shelters. He shields the brave and keeps us safe. He sends His followers to be His hands and feet. He alerts His Spirit to keep praying through the night, and He is faithful in answering our prayers. He is in our midst. May we never doubt it!
Christ is born! Let us praise His name!
